Recently some anthropologist conducted an interesting case study in ethnology. Now ethnology as you recall is a branch of anthropology that deal with how various cultures developed in change. The study was about the development of basket weaving by African-American women, who live in the town of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The town is known for its high quality sweet grass baskets which are woven by these women. They’ve been weaving the baskets for generations, handing down the skills from mother to daughter. Some of the baskets have been place on permanent display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The origin of their basket weaning dates back to the 17th century and even earlier when these women’s ancestors came to the United States from the west coast of Africa. Now, it’s mainly a hobby. But back in the 17th and 18th century African and American women wove the baskets for use on the rice plantations. There were two types of baskets then: workbaskets and baskets for use in the home. The workbaskets were made out of the bulrush, bulrush is a long tough grass that grows in marshes. One type of workbaskets is the fan-basket, which was used to separate grain of rice from the waster. The baskets used in the home were made of more delicate sweet grass. They were used for everything from fruit baskets to baby cradles. Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 18.
16. How did the women mentioned in the talk learn to weave basket?
17. According to the speaker, what type of baskets was made out of bulrush?
18. What is the main reason that the women in South Carolina now weavebaskets?
