Windover demonstrated that this absence was not absence of technology but absence of preservation conditions.

These people were weavers.

They produced fabric complex enough to require substantial skill and planning.

The weaving of a textile — particularly a textile with multiple integrated weave patterns — requires knowledge of fiber preparation, knowledge of weaving technique, practice, and probably some form of instruction from someone who already knew how to do it.

This is not improvised craft production; it is a skilled practice transmitted through teaching.

Some of the Windover individuals were buried wrapped in woven fabric.
