Royal Tombs of Sipan
Los Angeles: Fowler Museum of Cultural History / University of California 1994. 8.5" wide by 11" tall. A bright shiny clean square tight copy. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Lavishly illustrated with 2 maps and 243 photographs including 161 in full color. Bibliography. English language version of the catalogue of an exhibition at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History. From the foreword: "ROYAL TOMBS OF SIPAN was written to serve as a catalogue for the museum exhibition of the same name. Its primary aim is to provide an account of the discovery excavation and current interpretation of the three royal tombs that were scientifically recovered from Sipan between 1987 and 1990. We have tried to relate them to the royal tomb that so tragically was looted at Sipan before the archaeological work began and to demonstrate the value of careful archaeological excavation as opposed to clandestine looting. Although it is hoped that the detailed accounts of the tombs provided here will be useful for scholars the volume was written primarily for the non-specialist. The story is presented in narrative form often using phrases like 'we found' 'we thought' or 'we realized.' The reader might infer from this that 'we' means simply the authors. But the team was much larger than the authors of this volume and both responsibility and primary involvement in distinct aspects of the work were often divided. Walter Alva was the archaeologist who directed the excavations at Sipan assisted by archaeologists Luis Chero and Susana Meneses. Working with a wonderful team of archaeology students from The Universidad Nacional de Trujillo they discovered all three of the royal tombs at Sipan and saw to it that each was documented in an exemplary fashion. Christopher Donnan was at Sipan to witness most of the major stages in the excavation and to discuss the interpretation of the tombs and their contents with the Peruvian archaeologists who excavated them. His primary role was the iconographic analysis -- identifying the tombs' objects and individuals by comparisons with their representation in Moche art and relating the tombs and their contents to specific aspects of Moche culture. Much of this work was done in the Moche Archive at the University of California in Los Angeles and involved close collaboration with his research associate Donna McClelland." Keywords: Precolumbian Art History. Archaeology. South America. Native Americans. . Second Edition 1994 so stated. Oversize Softcover. Fine condition. 230pp. Fowler Museum of Cultural History / University of California Paperback

Pages are fresh and crisp -- apparently never read. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Illustrated with figures/diagrams and photographs of artifacts. Tables. List of chapter notes/sources. Bibliographical references. Index. "This is an impressive work a benchmark study that has important implications for the way archaeologists look at the interaction between Natives and Europeans." -- Marvin T. Smith coauthor of COOSA: THE RISE AND FALL OF A SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPIAN CHIEFDOM." From the rear cover: "Kathleen Ehrhardt's research addresses the early technological responses of one particular group the Late Protohistoric Illinois Indians to the availability of European-introduced metal objects. To do so she applied a complementary suite of archaeometric methods to a sample of 806 copper-base metal artifacts excavated from securely dated domestic contexts at the Iliniwek Village Historic Site in Clark County Missouri. Ehrhardt's scientific findings are integrated with observations from historical archaeological and archival research to place metal use by this group in a broad social context. In revealing actual Native practice from material selection and procurement to ultimate discard the author challenges acculturation perspectives on and technocentric explanations for Native material and cultural change at contact. Kathleen L. Ehrhardt is Research Associate at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield Illinois." . First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine condition. xiv 253pp. The University of Alabama Press.

QUTUB SHAHI COINS IN THE ANDHRA PRADESH GOVERNMENT MUSEUM
Hyderabad: The Government of Andhra Pradesh 1961. Printed Wrapper. Good. First Edition. Quarto. Catalogue of a hoard of medieval Islamic copper coins of the Golkonda Kingdom of India.

Map of India showing location of the Kingdom and a nice color reproduction of an illuminated manuscript page showing a Qutub Shahi King. Another color plate is an example of Qutub Shahi calligraphy. Extensive text of the history of the Shahs is in English. Though a specialized numismatic field this is a fascinating study for anyone interested in the subject of Islamic coins.

Otherwise clean internally. Scarce numismatic item. Very Good. The Government of Andhra Pradesh unknown
