Bulletin

Smithsonian Institution. Bureau of American Ethnology · 1901 · Washington : G.P.O. · 17 pictures

This Bulletin from the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1901, is a scientific series of archaeological reports for specialists. Its plates are black-and-white photographs and drawings of excavated trenches, stone features, pottery sherds with incised rims, and a rough sketch of cord-like marks, useful to a designer for their weathered earthen textures, grid-like site layouts and rhythmic patterns of notched pottery edges.
