This has implications for understanding how aesthetic traditions were integrated into everyday Makah life, rather than being set apart as a separate ceremonial sphere.

Sleeping mats woven from cedar bark and other fibers were recovered in preserved form.

These documents the domestic textile tradition, which ethnographic sources describe but which almost never survives archaeologically.

Woven baskets in various forms, including finely woven examples, were recovered.

The baskets document both the utilitarian function of weaving (containers for storage and transport) and the aesthetic tradition of basketry design.

Spindle whorls, the weighted circular disks used in spinning fiber, were found.
