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.).

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
