‎Objects of Change: The Archaeology and History of Arika Contact with Europeans‎

‎xiv317 pages with maps charts graphs appendices and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's brown cloth with black lettering in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The Arikaras a North American Indian tribe of the Northern Plains experienced a complex reaction to contact with Europeans a response whose evolution can be traced through two hundred years of material culture. Rather than view the two cultures in contact purely from the advancing Europeans' point of view J Daniel Rogers demonstrates that for more than a century the Arikaras largely controlled the interaction through their perception o exchange e.g. the fur trade as a social process and through their cultural incorporation of the Europeans. The author compares changes in Arikara artifact assemblages with known events and strategic social shifts. This allows a series of artifact processes to be identified creating a linkage that may have wide application to the basic archaeological problem of interpreting material culture.

‎Ancient Maya Relief Sculpture‎

‎Unpaginated with 60 plates. Quarto 11 1/4" x 11 1/4" bound in original publisher's beige wrappers with dark brown lettering to front wrapper and spine in original slipcase. Limited to 4000 copies. Rubbings by Merle Green. Foreword by Robert L Rands. First edition. Much of the finest work of the Maya artist was in low-relief sculptress and much of the best of it appears in this book particularly the exquisite work of Palenque. In many of these rubbings we can see the artists' work better than could the Maya themselves; rubbings artificially reproduce the bes effects of light and shadow. Anyone with experience in photographing Maya reliefs will recall waiting for the few minutes of ech day when the sun's position is right to bring up the relief. Sometimes the wait will last for months until the sun crosses the meridian and illuminates the north face of the monument then another long wait for the sun to recorss to cas shadows on the south face. Some of the reliefs were inside buildings and their Maya viewers never saw them with the sharpness of detail caught in Greene's rubbings. The rubbings here can aptly be compared to a family album of photographs. Here as in the family album there is no systematic effort to cover the subject; the rubbings were not made by an archaeologist to illustrate some aspect of craft. Instead choice of subjects was governed by such factors as accessibility state of preservation and depth relief. Moreover as in the case of the family album range of subjects was circumscribed. Only low relief sculpture is represented; the graceful tall shafts of Quirigua the high relief stelae of Copan the brilliant murals of Bonampak the closely allied painted pottery are all preforce absent.

‎The Danzantes of Monte Alban Part I: Text‎

‎79 pages with figures tables drawings and bibliography. Quarto 10 1/2" x 7 3/4" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Studies in Pre-Columbian Art and Archaeology Number Nineteen. First edition. One characteristic of Monte Albán is the large number of carved stone monuments one encounters throughout the plaza. The earliest examples are the so-called "Danzantes" literally dancers found mostly in the vicinity of Building L and which represent naked men in contorted and twisted poses some of them genitally mutilated. The figures are said to represent sacrificial victims which explains the morbid characteristics of the figures. The Danzantes feature physical traits characteristic of Olmec culture. The 19th century notion that they depict dancers is now largely discredited and these monuments dating to the earliest period of occupation at the site Monte Albán I are now seen to clearly represent tortured sacrificed war prisoners some identified by name and may depict leaders of competing centers and villages captured by Monte Albán Marcus and Flannery 1996; Blanton et al. 1996. Over 300 "Danzantes" stones have been recorded to date and some of the better preserved ones can be viewed at the site's museum. There is some indication that the Zapotecs had writing and calendrical notation. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed some light soiling else a very good copy. Dumbarton Oaks hardcover‎
