Pottery Mound, and a Comparison of Jewelry Found at the Two Sites THE JEWELRY OF TIJERAS PUEBLO By Lucy C. Schuyler Maxwell Museum Technical Series No. 15 Maxwell Museum of Anthropology MSC01, 1050, 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131-0001 www.unm.edu/~maxwell 2010 (Revised 2011) Note added November 2011 In November, 2011, five turquoise pieces that had been on display at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History (Figure A.1) were returned to the Maxwell Museum. These pieces were not available for close examination during my study, so the exact identity of certain artifacts was uncertain (see Page 84). Once the five pieces were returned to the Maxwell Museum, the pendant listed in the report as Catalogue No. 78.67.397 was found to correspond to Catalogue No. 78.67.111, listed as “unavailable for examination.” Likewise, the pendant listed as Catalogue No. 78.67.141B was found to correspond to Catalogue No. 78.67.397. The Tijeras jewelry Excel spreadsheet and master artifact spreadsheet have been updated to reflect the new information. As a result of these revisions, the number of artifacts originally reported is overstated by one. The total collection includes 450 specimens, 390 jewelry artifacts, and 92 pendants.

  • Golani Jewelry from the Iron Age II Levant ORBIS BIBLICUS ET ORIENTALIS, Series Archaeologica
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Jewelry from the Iron Age II Levant Golani, Amir Abstract: Jewelry has always had an irresistible allure yet in the past also had a significance and function within society that went far beyond ornamentation. Jewelry is an important, if often forgotten facet of material culture. Its study is inter-disciplinary, involving archaeology, anthropology, art history, his- torical/textual studies, and research of materials and manufacturing techniques. While the renowned jewelry from regions such as Egypt and Mesopotamia has been studied, that of the southern Levant has received only limited attention, yet research of its archaeological/contextual, technological and socio- cultural perspectives is illuminating. The book is a final publication of the author‘s doctoral dissertation made available to the archaeological and academic community at large. It is geared to be a working tool for archaeologists dealing in this period and region and to scholars who study its arts and crafts. The book provides a handy typological structure for jewelry classification as well as a comprehensive andf useful catalogue for research in this and related fields. In addition, it illustrates the significance, meaning and functions of jewelry and the development of the jeweler‘s craft in the southern Levant during the first and second millennia BCE.
