Various kinds of data-archaeological botanical geographical and historical-are brought to bear on the problem with provocative and original results.

Rio Antonio del 1745 1789
Estampas de Palenque. Biblioteca del Palacio Real & Real Academia de la Historia Madrid Facsimile Manuscript report to Guatemalan Governor José Estachería
16 facsimile hand written pages with diagrams and three fold out diagrams of Palenque. Folio 12 1/2" x 8 1/2" bound in velum with black label and gilt lettering to cover. Testimonio's Tabula Americae. Limited to 980 copies of which this is 169. Spanish artillery Captain Antonio del Río's ca. 1745-ca. 1789 discovery of tangible evidence of an amazingly rich Maya past and this printed report were the beginning of the study of this truly lost civilization. In May 1786 upon the order of the Spanish Crown Governor and Brigadier General of the Royal Audencia of Guatemala Don José Estachería sent Río to Chiapas to investigate rumors of an ancient city near Santo Domingo del Palenque and determine the origin of its inhabitants. Rio was preceded by other visitors to Palenque the most recent being two brief forays by José Antonio Calderón a local official and Spanish architect Antonio Bernasconi whose sparse observations prompted the order for the full-scale investigation by Río. The Spanish captain made up for his lack of antiquarian training with his zeal hiring seventy-nine Maya locals to assault with crowbars and axes the abandoned tree-engulfed seventh-century city of Palenque. In his report Río describes and comments on the hieroglyphs he saw. Río sent his manuscript report to Guatemalan Governor José Estachería and it was preserved in Madrid. Almendáriz's original drawings were recently found in a private European collection and published: Estampas de Palenque not included here Madrid: Testimonio 1993. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars the author's manuscript and Waldeck's drawings re-emerged in a still mysterious manner to be published in England. Publisher Henry Berthoud bought the manuscript from a mysterious Dr. McQuy McQueen in Jamaica at the end of April 1822. Capitalizing on public interest in American indigenous cultures as well as in Romantic ruins Berthoud published Rio's work in hopes of a popular bestseller which might otherwise have been lost.Condition:A Fine copy.

Cites Maya
194 pages with maps figures drawings plates some in color Folio 12 1/2" x 8 3/4" bound in original publisher's beige cloth with red lettering to spine and cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition limited to 1000 copies. Maya cities were the centers of population of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization of Mesoamerica. They served the specialized roles of administration commerce manufacturing and religion that characterized ancient cities worldwide. Maya cities tended to be more dispersed than cities in other societies even within Mesoamerica as a result of adaptation to a lowland tropical environment that allowed food production amidst areas dedicated to other activities. They lacked the grid plans of the highland cities of central Mexico such as Teotihuacán and Tenochtitlan. Maya kings ruled their kingdoms from palaces that were situated within the center of their cities. Cities tended to be located in places that controlled trade routes or that could supply essential products. This allowed the elites that controlled trade to increase their wealth and status. Such cities were able to construct temples for public ceremonies thus attracting further inhabitants to the city. Those cities that had favourable conditions for food production combined with access to trade routes were likely to develop into the capital cities of early Maya states.

John Daniel Rogers 1954
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. Condition: Spine heal bumped else a near fine copy in like jacket. Smithsonian Institution Press hardcover
