	Cordage
		Aside from using cordage to maintain their nutritional needs, it was also used to weave bags, baskets and other craft items.
		Cordage was usually made with native plants growing in the area.
		Because cordage will deteriorate over time when exposed to moisture, the only examples of Native American cordage are usually found in the dry caves of the southwest.

	Cordage site poised for development - The Boston Globe
		A hundred years ago, when the rope-making Cordage Co. was spinning fiber into rope and shipping it all over the world, its working waterfront was closed to the public -- and has remained closed since, even after the plant went out of business in 1970.
		The Cordage redevelopment site plan would convert a building on the site's 140-foot pier, where boats once unloaded manila and other raw materials for the rope mills, into a commercial building to serve a marina.
		Cordage Park Circle also would be widened into a landscape-divided boulevard to make a more imposing approach to the redeveloped site.

	Cordage for use in telecommunications - Patent 4090763
		Further, it is economically desirable to obtain an extended length with as short a length of cordage as possible and, from an appearance standpoint, it is desirable that the retracted length of the spring cord be as short as possible.
		Cordage may be constructed having a plurality of tinsel conductors each wrapped about a longitudinal center core and constructed so that each conductor is insulated individually with the polyether polyester thermoplastic material disclosed hereinbefore.
		A length of the cordage may be helically wound, heat set and reverse wound, and terminated with suitable electrical connecting devices to provide a retractile telephone cord, commonly referred to as a spring cord, for connecting a telephone base to a telephone handset.

	Rare Cordage tour offers glimpse of ties that bind Plymouth's past - The Boston Globe
		Silent since the Plymouth Cordage Co. closed in 1970, the building's immensity impressed visitors on Saturday during a rare tour of the Plymouth mill complex that once was home to the world's largest rope maker.
		Organized by the Plymouth Cordage Historical Society, the tour took visitors through the complex in trolleys while William Rudolph narrated the story of how the sprawling complex operated.
		The mill workers manufactured cordage for ships when New England whalers were its best customers and sails were edged with rope.

	Making Natural Cordage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Cordage — that is, thread, string, or rope — is all but indispensable in a survival situation.
		When a situation demands an especially strong length of cordage, you might logically think that all you need to do is begin with bigger fiber bundles.
		In fact, it's often hard to believe that a finished length of cordage was made from frail material that once broke easily in your hands.

		Cordage, or string, is one of those simple little things which we seldom think about but use every day and take for granted.
		Today natural fiber for cordage is produced on an industrial scale, with plantations of agave for sisal fiber in Brazil and Africa.

	Cordage
		There are hundreds of needs and purposes for cordage in the wilderness setting, and it is a useful skill to know.
		Depending on the size of the cordage that you make you can use natural cordage for anything from dental floss to fishing line to snare cordage to climbing rope and every other need in between.
		Holding the cordage tightly in your hand, take your free hand and grasp one of the fiber bundles and twist it between your fingers away from your body.

	A Cordage Backed Bow
		The one universal factor in all designs, I presume, is that the sinew cordage was tightened to be under great tension when the bow was in use.
		Since the effectiveness of a given cordage backing depends on its distance from the neutral plane it would be interesting to put little spacers on the back to keep the cord as far away as possible.
		The idea of spacing the cord as far away as possible was carried to the ultimate in a bow I saw during the mid 60's at some of the field archery tournaments in central California.

	Making Cordage By Hand
		Cordage (rope and string) can be made from many different fibers including (Bast) Dogbane, Milkweed, Nettles, Hemp, Flax; (Leaves) Cattail, Yucca, Agave, Douglas Iris; (Bark) Willow, Maple, Basswood, Cedar; (Root) Leather Root, Beach Lupine; (Whole stem) Tule, straw, Juncus.
		Finger-twisting methods are best used when a relatively small amount of string is being made and/or has to be very tight and even, and when very stiff or coarse materials are being used, such as cattail or tule.
		When making mass quantities of cordage, it is much faster and easier on the hands to use the leg (thigh) rolling method.

	cordage
		The weft, or horizontal, fibers are agave cordage, too, of a slightly larger diameter and not spun so tightly as the warp.
		All of the cordage used in Southern California was plied, that is, two or more lengths of cord were twisted together into one thicker, stronger cord.
		This cordage would be made of hemp or milkweed fibers, but never of Agave which produces a rougher and stiffer cord.

	Native American Cordage Technology
		Cordage is made from two or more strips of fibers that are twisted or plied together.
		In New England during the 1600's, the cordage made by Native Americans for their fishing lines and nets was superior to that of Europeans' by their own accounts.
		The fiber cordage made from plants growing in New England was praised by Europeans for its fine quality, durability and superiority to English hemp: "Their cordage is So even, Soft, and Smooth, that it lookes more like Fiske than hempe; their Sturgeon netts be not deepe, not above 30.

	Experimental Archaeology: Making Cordage
		Cordage artifacts are seldom found in North Carolina sites because the region's wet, humid climate and acidic soils cause them to decay.
		Archaeologists infer that finished cordage varied in size from 1 millimeter to several millimeters in diameter--that is, from fine twine to thick rope.
		If the cordage looks all twisted in thesame direction, then the locking twist is not taking place, and usually the strands are beingtwirled in the wrong direction.
