La alfarería indígena de Patagonia
A Spanish-language study of Indigenous pottery from Patagonia by the Argentine archaeologist Felix F. Outes, printed in Buenos Aires in 1904 for scholars of archaeology and ethnography. The pictures are plain line drawings of decorative motifs: rows of incised lines, zigzags, stepped meanders, dotted and cord-impressed bands, and tapering shapes, drawn in simple ink with hatching. A designer could take from them a vocabulary of geometric pattern built from repeated marks, such as stepped borders, zigzag bands, and rope-like textures.
