Ambrosetti, Juan B. (Juan Bautista), 1865-1917 · 1907 · Buenos Aires, Imp. de M. Biedma é hijo · 12 pictures

This is a 1907 Buenos Aires report by archaeologist Juan B. Ambrosetti on excavations at the prehistoric town of La Paya in Salta province, Argentina, written in Spanish for scholars and museum readers. The pictures show photographs of excavated stone and clay objects with catalogue numbers painted on them, plus a drawn plate of flat stone tools. A designer could take from them the raw, grainy look of early archaeological documentation, with pale paper, grey half-tone objects, and handwritten labels.
