Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Symposia presented at the Denver Art Museum in 2002 and 2007 focused, respectively, on preColumbian art in the museum collection and the art and archaeology of ancient Costa Rica. Edited by Denver Art Museum curator Margaret YoungSnchez, this lavishly illustrated volume brings together newly revised and expanded symposium papers from preColumbian scholars, while paying tribute to the legacy of Denver philanthropist Frederick R. Mayera generous supporter of archaeological and art historical research, scientific analysis, and scholarly publication.Archaeologys elder statesman Michael Coe (Yale University) provides a lively description of twentiethcentury preColumbian archaeology and the personalities who shaped its intellectual history. Using traditional and scientific analyses of archaeological ceramics, Frederick W. Lange (LSA Associates, Inc.) and Ronald L. Bishop (Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History) consider the transmission of technical and cultural knowledge in ancient Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The late Michael J. Snarskis of the Tayutic Foundation reports on his final archaeological excavation, at Loma Corral in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, where an undisturbed twothousandyearold cemetery contained highstatus burials, local and imported ceramics, and jade ornaments. Warwick Bray (University College, London), examines preColumbian gold items from Panama, including their uses and meaning, as part of the Parita Treasure excavated in the early 1960s. Margaret YoungSnchez (Denver Art Museum), presents the construction and iconography of early (ad 200400) Tiwanakustyle folding pouches from the southcentral Andes. And Carol Mackey (California State University, Northridge) and Joanne Pillsbury (Getty Research Institute) describe and analyze an important silver beaker decorated with detailed ritual and mythological scenes from the Lambayeque (Sicn) civilization of northern Peru (ad 8001350).
