Notes: “Two great groups of ceramic products have now been presented–the coiled ware and the white decorated ware. These groups belong to the first great period of pueblo art in clay. Their chronological identity is sometimes questioned, the coiled ware to all appearances being the more archaic…The more closely the ceramic art of the ancient peoples is studied the more decidedly it appears that it was profoundly influenced by the textile arts, and especially by basketry.” (pages 358-359) The evolution of art, according to Holmes. Great illustrations (some by James Stevenson).
