About This Book

A detailed illustrated catalogue records 2,858 objects collected from Indigenous communities in New Mexico and Arizona during 1879, with descriptive entries and accompanying photographs and maps. It inventories pottery varieties and their raw materials, stone implements and their lithologies, basketry, textiles, food-preparation tools, ornaments, musical and ceremonial objects, pigments, clays, and other domestic and ritual artifacts. Entry notes address probable ancient versus modern manufacture, functional uses, and collection context, while occasional mineralogical and comparative observations are provided to aid identification, classification, and understanding of material technology.
