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 EstacherÃa
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 RÃo'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 EstacherÃa sent RÃo 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 RÃo. 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 RÃo describes and comments on the hieroglyphs he saw. RÃo sent his manuscript report to Guatemalan Governor José EstacherÃa 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.

Silverman meticulously presents and interprets an abundance of current data on the physical complexities burials and artifacts of this prominent site; in addition she synthesizes the history of previous fieldwork at Cahuachi and introduces a correct map and a new chronological chart for the Rio Grande de Nazca drainage system. On the basis of empirical field data ethnographic analogy and settlement pattern analysis Silverman constructs an Andean models of Nasca culture that is crucial to understanding the development of complex society in the Central Andes.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />A fine copy in like jacket.

The Archaeological Ceramics of Becan Campeche Mexico
xiv190 pages with figures charts maps and appendices. Small quarto 10 1/2" x 7 3/4" bound in original publisher's green wrappers. Middle American Research Institute Publication number 43. First edition.<br /><br />The 1969-71 National Geographic society-Tulane University project was organized specifically to deal with two problems. The first concerned the precise definition of the Rio Bec architectural style and its proper chronological placement. The second involved the determination of the chronological and cultural relationships existing among the Rio Bec Chenes and Puuc sub-regions. Several secondary results were expected as well. These included the construction of an independent chronological framework for the Rio Bec zone; the establishment of a firm chronological and typological bridge between the isolated culture sequences of northwestern Yucatan and the southern Maya lowlands; and the dating of the massive defensive network at Becan suspected to be of either Late or Terminal Classic age. Central to the solution of any of these problems was the establishment of a local ceramic sequence for the Rio Bec sub-region.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Light edge wear else a near fine copy.

Nicholson, Henry Bigger (1925 -2007) and Alana Cordy-Collins
Pre-Columbian Art from the Land Collection
272 pages with diagrams photographs some in color maps tables and bibliographies. Quarto 11" x 8 1/2" bound in original pictorial wrappers. Forward by George E Lindsay. Edited and preface by L K Land. First edition limited to 2500 copies. The catalog comprises most of the Mesoamerican portion of a special exhibition of selected pieces from the Land collection of pre-Columbian art. Although there are some significant gaps particularly on the Post-classic horizon the over 150 pieces in this catalog taken together constitute a reasonably representative sample of the esthetic achievement of pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Mesoamerican archaeological pieces have become so tremendously dispersed worldwide in recent years that it is really only through well-illustrated catalogs of this type that archaeologists art historians and other students can work effectively with adequate samples of these new data which are relevant to their interests. The principal objective of the annotations to the pieces illustrated in this catalog is to provide each with as relevant an archaeological context as possible on the basis or available knowledge. This is often difficult for the exact places and circumstances surrounding their discover are often unknown. From the time of the accidental discovery of the Rosetta Stone many pieces not recovered under controlled archaeological conditions have been made to yield by means of thorough comparative analyses invaluable archaeological information-and can continue to provide such if sufficient effort is made along this line. A serious effort has been made within these spatial limitations to relate each object illustrated in the catalog to similar pieces particularly those of known provenience and associations and to make some meaningful statement about each. Condition: Some edge wear corners bumped else a very good copy. California Academy of Sciences and L K Land paperback
