  1. Language phylogeny will predict a significant part of the variation in weaving loomsBuckley, Christopher D. - Contrasting Modes of Cultural Evolution: Kra-Dai Languages and Weaving Techn..., 2025 - 2 Variables

    Languages and weaving methods are passed down generation to generation, allowing both of them to have relatively clear phylogenies. These researchers use a Bayesian approach with Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to uncover similar but independent phylogenies for Kra-Dai languages and weaving technologies. Evolutionary differences between the two are most likely due to different rates of change: smooth change (language) and periods of burst and stasis (weaving). This study found that language phylogenies were not efficient at predicting phylogenies of technologies.

  6. Weaving motifs will originate in the late Bronze Age Dong-Son cultureBuckley, Christopher D. - Investigating Cultural Evolution Using Phylogenetic Analysis: The Origins an..., 2012 - 1 Variables

    Ikat and warp weaving techniques have a long history in Southeastern Asia and tend to be the most geographically widespread in the region. This researcher uses Bayesian and Neighbornet techniques to create models of phylogenetic descent and distribution of SE Asian weaving traditions. These findings do not support the theory of late Bronze Age Dong-Son descent.

  7. The gender of weaver will be associated with loom complexity (33).O'Brian, Robin - Who weaves and why? weaving, loom complexity and trade, 1999 - 2 Variables

    This article examines the relationship between craft specialization, technological complexity, the gendered division of labor, and trade. Seeking to understand the shift from women to men as primary weavers, the author finds that trade is a strong predictor but technological complexity of looms is not.
