Description
Author: Cushing, Frank Hamilton (1857-1900)
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
Pub Date: 1886
Binding: Paperback
Condition: Fair. Binding tight. No marks, tears, bends or folds. Foxing to all three text blocks. This is a report from a hardcover Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, 1882-’83 (Washington, 1886) that was falling apart. I salvaged this and another report (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/pottery-of-the-ancient-pueblos/ ) and had them rebound in paperback.
Notes: How the evolution of forms in dwellings and pottery changed Zuni life. From round pithouses to rectangular or square cliff houses to pueblos, from basketry forms to ceramic forms to ceramic variation based on function. It’s a short (48 pages) essay but quite interesting. Who was it that said “Form follows function”? Same basic idea here.
