Description:This book, which focuses on Casas Grandes pottery, provides an in-depth study and classification of pottery created in the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The book positions this pottery as belonging to the southernmost ancient Pueblo cultures, and as such it is an important text for those seeking to understand how this distinctive style fits into Puebloan culture writ large. The author lays out the results of their analysis of 190 excavated pieces of pottery, which were discovered in sites such as Ramos, Corralitos, and Zanos. These pieces were predominantly mortuary offerings, with many having been recovered from graves beneath ruined houses. From bowls to jars, the book offers detailed descriptions of the various shapes and styles of Casas Grandes pottery, including the use of polishing stones in production, resulting in pieces with a distinctive, lustrous black finish. The book also discusses the use of red and black paint, the incorporation of incised geometric designs, animal symbolism and effigy vessels, and the significance of negative drawing. It examines the influences of Casas Grandes pottery and the relationships it bears to other regional pottery traditions. Overall, this book serves as a valuable reference for those interested in the art and archaeology of the Casas Grandes region and offers a comprehensive foundation for further research.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
