Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Pre-Columbian Designs from Panama by Samuel Kirkland Lothrop Brian Smith Lawrence Books for Free. For decades, since its discovery, the strange minor culture of Coclé in Panama has held an unusual position for archeologists and art historians. Small in area, fairly recent in date, weak in many of the higher attributes of Mesoamerican civilization, Coclé is well-known for a ceramic style of remarkably high quality-a style that can bear comparison with similar products of the great civilizations of pre-Columbian America. The artist- ceramists of Coclé worked within a relatively narrow scope, mostly painting bowls for ceremonial use, but this painting emerges as one of the most imaginative art forms in the Americas, with countless new and powerful versions of general motifs that run through the native civilizations. Included on Coclé vessels are beautifully composed polychrome stylizations of gods and men, birds, crabs, serpents, jaguars, demons, monsters, and a host of geometric and abstract patterns. The designs are all styled in the same convention, so that they offer a consistent body of art that is unique: there is nothing else quite like them. The present volume contains more than 500 illustrations of this Coclé ceramic style, each strongly reproduced in black and white, but with indications for the original rich colors. They constitute most of the illustrations for a classic of American archeology, Coclé: An Archaeological Study of Central Panama by Samuel K. Lothrop. Today these Coclé illustrations are highly prized by modern ceramists, leather-workers, textile workers, graphic artists and others who prize strong, sophisticated, fantastic design.

Samuel Kirkland Lothrop (1892-1965) devoted his career to the archaeology of Central and South America. His field work and exploration included work done under Alfred V. Kidder for the Andover Museum in Pecos, New Mexico 1915; for Harvard University in Costa Rica 1948- 49, in Honduras 1915-17, and in Panama 1933, 1940, and 1951; for the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D. C., in the Yucatan 1923 and Guatemala 1932-33; for the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, in Argentina and Peru 1924-25; and for the Institute of Andean Research in Peru 1941-44. His appointments at the Peabody Museum included Associate in Anthropology 1919 and 1934 and Research Associate in Anthropology for M. Dale 1935-39. His curatorial career began in 1940 as Assistant Curator of Middle American Archaeology, becoming head curator of that collection in 1944. Samuel Lothrop was Curator of the Peabody Museum's Andean Archaeology collection from 1947 -1960. Samuel Lothrop received his B.A. from Harvard in 1915 and Ph.D. in 1921. He married Rachel Warren in 1914, Eleanor Bachman in 1929, and Joy Mahler in 1958, all of whom worked with him on his archaeological research to varying degrees. Very little information is available about Joy Mahler Lothrop. Also an archaeologist, she primarily studied indigenous textiles. Her activities included work for the Peabody Museum (1950s) and for the American Museum of Natural History. In the late fifties she collaborated on several publications with Samuel Lothrop, whom she married in 1958. Her independent work was published before, during and after her marriage. She died in 1996.

Lothrop. I. Field Notes 1917-1949. This series includes notebooks, journals, and loose notesrelating to Samuel Lothrop's field work in Central and South America. The fieldwork wasconducted in Argentina (1924-25), Costa Rica (1948-1949), Guatemala and El Salvador (1926), Guatemala (1928, 1932), Honduras (1917, 1947), Mexico (1922), Panama (1930-31, 1940, 1950-51), and Peru (1940-44, 1946-47). This series containsmanuscripts, illustrations and proofs for several of Samuel Lothrop's publications and articles,including "Archaeology of Lower Central America" (1966), Archaeology of the DiquísDelta, Costa Rica (1963), "Early Migrations to Central and South America" (1961), and Zacualpa: A Study of Ancient Quiche (1936). There are illustrations, but nomanuscripts, for Atitlan: an archaeological study of ancient remains on the borders ofLake Atitlan, Guatemala (1933), Metals from the Cenote of Sacrifice, ChichénItzá, Yucatán (1952); Pottery of Costa Rica and Nicaragua (1926); and Tulum: an archaeological study of the east coast of Yucatán (1924). Alsoincluded are drafts of apparently unpublished works on the Rio San Juan in Nicaragua, "MinorAntiquities of Porto Rico" (with Rachel Warren Lothrop), and on Venado Beach , Panama. The manuscript of a monograph on thearchaeology of Venado Beach was Samuel Lothrop's current project at the time of his death, and,although Joy Mahler Lothrop continued work on it, the volume was never completed. Most ofthis material is correspondence with friends and colleagues pertaining to archaeology in Panama,particularly Venado Beach. Also included in this series is materialon nominations to the Anthropology Section of the National Academy of Sciences for 1960. Additional correspondence is with related material in the other series; see the correspondentsindex on p.13. These include notes taken at archaeology lectures in Europe, but primarily consistof materials compiled in the course of research for Samuel Lothrop's publications. These reportsto the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church about missionary work inGuatemala were collected by Eleanor Bachman Lothrop in 1947. Materials include a journal from a 1913 trip to Utah while an undergraduate, two undated addressbooks, and various items from a trip to Europe for the International Congress ofAmericanists meeting in Cambridge, England in 1952. The items from this tripinclude calling cards, address lists, maps, a pamphlet about Ely Cathedral, and the program from the meeting. This series consists primarily of photographs and illustrations of artifacts from Central and South America. The series also contains two scrapbooks, one containing photographs of Chilean Indians and the other from Samuel Lothrop's field work in Pecos, New Mexico under Alfred V. Kidder. A few photographs are of places Lothrop visited, including areas around Venado Beach. See also the list of field photographs separated to Photo Archives (p.17). Series Descriptions--Joy Mahler Lothrop. VIII. Manuscripts 1957-1992. This series includes drafts andmanuscripts on the textiles of Peru, Argentina, and Mexico and the Maya Lowlands. Thematerial on Peru includes a manuscript for "An analysis of late period textiles and associateditems from Pachacamac" (n.d.). Also related to Peru are the dye analyses done by William J.Young which were included as appendices to Samuel Lothrop and Joy Mahler [Lothrop's] AChancay-Style Grave at Zapallan, Peru and Late Nazca Burials in Chaviña, Peru (both 1957). The Argentina material consists of a draft of the introduction to a paper on Chaco textiles, withrelated notes. Most of Joy Mahler Lothrop's writing was concerned with the textilesrecovered from the Cenote of Sacrifice at Chichén Itzá, Yucatán. This includes a paper preparedfor the April 1982 meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The chapter "Garments and Textiles of the Maya Lowlands," written for the Handbook of MiddleAmerican Indians (1966), is based primarily on the Cenote evidence. Her largest project was thereport on the Cenote textiles which appeared as a chapter in Artifacts from the Cenote ofSacrifice, Chichen Itza, Yucatan (1992). In conjunction with this project, Joy Mahler Lothropalso retained draft copies of the first two chapters from the book, "The Sacred Well of the Itzaes"by Edward H. Thompson and "Dredging the Cenote" by Clemency C. Coggins. Thesemanuscripts are also included in this series. Joy Mahler Lothrop compiled these notes whilestudying various aspects of textiles, both generally and in connection to her writings. Included inthis series are Elsie McDougall's notes and correspondence with Alfred Tozzer and Junius Bird(1934-52), as well as Joy Mahler Lothrop's notes on the McDougall-Tozzer correspondence. Inaddition to her studies of Mexican and Peruvian textiles, as evidenced by her manuscripts, JoyMahler Lothrop became interested in textiles from the Eastern Woodland Indians of the UnitedStates because of their similarity to the twined fabrics found in Peru. This includes letters toand from Joy Mahler Lothrop concerning her work, particularly with the textiles from ChichénItzá, Yucatán. Also included are a letter concerning an obituary for Samuel Lothrop and oneasking for information about a figurine of a weaver that the Lothrops owned at one time. Seecorrespondent index to search for names (p.13). These include anannouncement of the founding of the Association for Latin American Studies in 1959, a postcardfrom an unidentified correspondent, a photograph of an unidentified town, and a page from anarticle on Chichén Itzá. These include photographs of textiles from Chichén Itzá, Yucatán,and from Chaviña and Zapallan, Peru. Other photographs show the Maya textile exhibit from theChicago Natural History Museum. See also the list of field photographs separated to PhotoArchives (p.17). Famous Report of Violent Savages in pre-Columbian Panama Got It Wrong. Buried alive. Butchered. Decapitated. Hacked. Mutilated. Killed. Archaeologist Samuel K. Lothrop did not obfuscate when describing what he thought had happened to the 220 bodies his expedition excavated from Panama's Playa Venado site in 1951. The only problem is that Lothrop likely got it wrong. A new evaluation of the site's remains by Smithsonian archaeologists revealed no signs of trauma at or near time of death. The burial site likely tells a more culturally nuanced story. A Modern Re-examination. The "long-overdue" re-examination of the Playa Venado site, which dates to 500-900 AD and is located near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, revealed no evidence of ritual killing, said Nicole E. Smith-Guzmán, post-doctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). Lothrop's misinterpretations are likely due to the era of "Romantic archaeology," underdeveloped methods for mortuary studies and literal readings of Spanish accounts of indigenous peoples after European contact.

(Image: Met Museum ) "We now realize that many of these Spanish chroniclers were motivated to show the indigenous populations they encountered as 'uncivilized' and in need of conquering," said Smith-Guzmán, adding that many accounts of sacrifice and cannibalism have not been confirmed by the archaeological record. "Rather than an example of violent death and careless deposition, Playa Venado presents an example of how pre-Columbian societies in the Isthmo-Colombian area showed respect and care for their kin after death."

(Image: CC BY 3.0) The recent article, co-authored by STRI staff archaeologist Richard Cooke, was published in Latin American Antiquity. But Lothrop's 1954 paper, "Suicide, sacrifice and mutilations in burials at Venado Beach, Panama," left its mark on the annals of Panamanian archaeology. It has been cited more than 35 times as evidence of violence, cannibalism or trophy decapitation. Some authors have used the paper to suggest Playa Venado is a mass burial site or a manifestation of conflict. In defense of Lothrop, who was an archaeologist with Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Enthnology, bioarchaeology (the study of human remains from archaeological contexts) did not exist as a sub-discipline until two decades after his work concluded at Playa Venado. Today's practitioners also benefit from methods developed in the 1980s and 1990s. Lothrop's careful documentation and preservation of remains made reevaluation possible. Remains from more than 70 individuals from Playa Venado are at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, sent there by Lothrop for osteological evaluation.

Upon examination, Smith-Guzmán found only wounds that showed signs of healing well before the individuals died, including blows to the head and a dislocated thumb. Various broken bones and disarticulated remains discovered by Lothrop are more likely explained by normal processes of decomposition and secondary burial of remains, which is believed to have a common ancestor-veneration practice in pre-Columbian Panama. Evidence suggests certain people's remains were preserved for long periods of time before being buried in ritual contexts . "At Playa Venado, we see a lot of evidence of adults being buried next to urns containing children, multiple burials including one primary and one secondary burial, and disturbance of previously laid graves in order to inter another individual in association," said Smith-Guzmán. "The uniform burial positioning and the absence of perimortem (around the time of death) trauma stands in contradiction to Lothrop's interpretation of violent death at the site," said Smith-Guzmán, who also used evidence from other archaeological sites around Panama about burial rites as part of the investigation. "There are low rates of trauma in general, and the open mouths of skeletons Lothrop noted are more easily explained by normal muscle relaxation after death and decay." Smith-Guzmán and Cooke's reassessment of the Playa Venado burials suggests that ideas about widespread violence in pre-Columbian Panama need to be reconsidered. The research is part of a larger, interdisciplinary site reanalysis that will be published by the Dumbarton Oaks Museum in Washington, DC.
