A Most Indispensable Art is written by James B. Petersen and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0870499157 (ISBN 10) and 9780870499159 (ISBN 13).
This collection of essays chronicles the diversity and richness of one broad category of traditional material culture - fiber industries or textiles - among prehistoric and historic Native Americans in eastern North America. Such industries, which include basketry, fabrics, cordage, and netting, played an important role in the economic, social, and ceremonial life of indigenous cultures. However, because of the extreme age of the artifacts, their fragile nature, and unfavorable preservation conditions, knowledge of these industries has long been incomplete - resulting in a gap in scholarship that this volume does much to address.
