Cane (Arundo donax)
This tall grass, introduced from the Orient, with a stem like bamboo, has become a characteristic feature of coastal and waste ground. Split and planed into fairly flat-profile lengths, it has been widely used for side weaving often with brown willow rods forming the base, side stakes and border. In Argos, south of Corinth in Greece, a substantial industry produced a variety of cylin- drical baskets each with a defining number and width of willow bands up the sides for use by dif- ferent professions (Efthymiou-Chatzilacou 1979) (Fig. 1).
