Baskets and Containers
Baskets have been made and utilized since ancient times. Weight and type of objects determined the shapes and sizes of the baskets. Heavy splint field baskets were used in harvesting fruits and vegetables; replaceable wooden cleats were often attached to protect the bottoms against dragging. The bottoms of baskets meant to hold fragile items had raised centers to keep the contents from rolling around, and to distributed the weight toward the sides. Baskets used inside the home were lighter; sewing baskets had a close weave to keep small objects and often one or more inside pockets.
