Ceramics Of Ancient America: Multidisciplinary Approaches,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This is the first volume to bring together archaeology, ethnography, and art history in the analysis of preColumbian pottery. While previous research on ceramics has been divided among these three disciplines, this volume shows that integrating approaches provides new understandings of many different aspects of Ancient American societies.Contributors from a variety of backgrounds in these fields explore what ceramics can reveal about ancient social dynamics, trade, ritual, politics, innovation, iconography, and regional styles. Essays identify supernatural and humanistic beliefs through formal analysis of Lower Mississippi Valley great serpent effigy vessels, costume and dress in Moche art, and Ecuadorian depictions of the human figure. They discuss the cultural identity conveyed by imagery such as Andean head motifs, and they analyze symmetry in designs from locations including the American Southwest. Chapters also take diachronic approachesmethods that track change over timeto ceramics from Mexicos Tarascan State and the Valley of Oaxaca, as well as from Maya and Toltec societies.This volume provides a muchneeded multidisciplinary synthesis of current scholarship on Ancient American ceramics. It is a model of how different research perspectives can together illuminate the relationship between these material artifacts and their broader cultural contexts.Contributors: Dean Arnold George J.
