In excellent condition, this Yokuts cooking basket (c. 1900) has a diameter of 20 inches and is 16 inches deep. The foundation is probably bundled deer grass stalks which are coiled with split sedge root. The Yokuts are a group of linguistically related people who lived in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Two or three red hot stones were set inside the basket and constantly moved around within boiling water and leached acorn dough.
