Note on the archeology of Chiriqui

MacCurdy, George Grant, 1863-1947 · 1914 · Lancaster, Pa. : The New Era Printing Company · 7 pictures

A 1914 archaeological note by George Grant MacCurdy, printed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, describing pottery and decorative designs from Chiriqui in Central America for a scholarly audience. The pictures are line engravings of globular pots with incised scroll bands, a black-and-white spiral panel with dotted rows, and a zigzag scroll border, all rendered in crisp hatched linework that a designer could borrow for bold repeat patterns, banding, and spiral motifs.
