Perishable artifacts are invaluable tools for reconstructing past lifeways of hunter-gatherers, and when preserved in arid settings, they can inform on dynamic interactions between communities and the environment. Many such materials were recovered from early archaeological surveys in Utah and Nevada but were largely excluded from contemporary analyses because of small sample sizes, their fragmentary nature, and insecure proveniences. This synchronic reanalysis of cordage and coiled basketry from 10 late Holocene sites in the Great Salt Lake Desert utilizes newer approaches to perishables analysis so as to collect data more conducive to statistical comparisons of subsistence and craft traditions absent from earlier Great Basin studies. Regional trends of conformity of fine cordage contrasted with a diversity of basketry manufacture suggest contemporaneous social stressors directing the production of materials and two potentially gendered subclasses of utilitarian objects. Feminine and masculine perishable crafts in the Bonneville Basin follow separate manufacturing traditions, observable despite small sample sizes and poor dating of these curated collections.

易腐烂的文物是重建狩猎采集者过去生活方式的宝贵工具，当它们保存在干旱环境中时，它们可以为社区与环境之间的动态相互作用提供信息。许多此类材料是从犹他州和内华达州的早期考古调查中发现的，但由于样本量小、碎片性质和来源不安全，很大程度上被排除在当代分析之外。这项对大盐湖沙漠 10 个全新世晚期遗址的绳索和盘绕篮筐的同步再分析采用了更新的易腐烂物分析方法，以便收集更有利于对早期大盆地研究中缺乏的生存和手工艺传统进行统计比较的数据。细绳的一致性的区域趋势与篮筐制造的多样性形成鲜明对比，表明同时代的社会压力因素指导着材料的生产和功利物品的两个潜在性别亚类。邦纳维尔盆地的女性和男性易腐烂工艺品遵循不同的制造传统，尽管样本量较小且这些精选藏品的年代较差，但仍可观察到。
