Preserved lacto-lattices have been found in archaeological sites all over the world, and many different periods of history. The Egyptians, Mayans, Incas, Olmecs, Babylonians, Sumerians, Manchurians and Tibetans all produced lacto-lattices; and the art still continues today amongst a number of small indigenous tribes, such as the Tofoo-weldaz of New Guinea, and the broo-crooz of Peru.

The principal function of a lactobaccillus lattice is to focus the mind during shamanic flight, although the technique has also been used to produce talismans, ceremonial offerings, blankets, garments, baskets etc. In Samoa the technique was used to make beautiful hand-woven navel ornaments, a number of which are in the British Museum. The nomads of the Altai mountains used the technique to produce rugs or moldi-karpits which decorated their communal yurts or tchil-owtz
