[email protected]. AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ailsa Elizabeth Crawford for the Master of Arts in Anthropology presented July 22, 1983. Title: Tillamook Indian Basketry: Continuity and Change as seen in The Adams Collection. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Wayne Sut~ies, ~na1rman Daniel J. Scheans I5ale Archibald Mary Const a1 { j In the Adams Collection at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, Tillamook, Oregon, there are 29 baskets that were probably made between 1880 and 1940. They are mostly of raffia, are somewhat faded from their original, bright, commerciai colors, and are generally quite small. Des- pite the fact that these baskets are well-documented and were made by Tillamook women, they are the sort that have been overlooked by anthropolo- gists and by collectors because of their non-"traditional" appearance.
