Archeology Of The Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico


Book Description

J. Walter Fewkes is the author of the book "Archeology of the Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico". Fewkes describes his archaeological research and finds in the Lower Mimbres Valley of New Mexico in the book. His discoveries provide new information on the lives and cultures of the ancient peoples who formerly lived in the area, as well as about their art, architecture, and way of life. Fewkes also explores the particular difficulties of undertaking archaeological research in the Mimbres Valley's arid environment, including preservation concerns and the influence of climate on the archaeological record. For academics and researchers interested in the prehistory of the American Southwest as well as anybody interested in the history of archaeology as a field, the book is a significant resource. Fewkes was a trailblazer in the area of American archaeology, and the Mimbres Valley excavations he conducted still have a significant impact on our understanding of ancient societies in North America.

Book Description

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.










The Mimbres


Book Description

This reissue of three early essays on Mimbres archaeology and design fills a major gap in the literature on the Mimbres, whose pottery has long fascinated students of the prehistoric Southwest. Fewkes, one of the eminent archaeologists of the early twentieth century, introduced Mimbres art to scholars when he published these essays with the Smithsonian Institution between 1914 and 1924, under the titlesArchaeology of the Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico, Designs on Prehistoric Pottery from the Mimbres Valley, New Mexico,andAdditional Designs on Prehistoric Mimbres Pottery.Long out-of-print, these essays represent the first analysis and description of the complex abstract and representational designs that continue to fascinate us 2,000 years after they were painted.
