The overall consistency of basket making techniques throughout time in ancient Egypt lends itself well to the study of how baskets were produced (Wendrich, 1999; 3). The greatest changes appear in the materials used and the tools used to produce the baskets (Wendrich, 1999; 3). Time, however, appears to be the biggest agent of change when it comes to the development of basketry.
