Pottery types and their sequence in El Salvador
A 1927 archaeological monograph published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, written by Samuel Kirkland Lothrop to document ceramic types and their chronological sequence in El Salvador. The plates show ancient pottery vessels photographed in grey tones against plain backgrounds, with lettered captions identifying each piece. A designer might take from them the sculpted lug handles, incised banding, and rounded silhouettes of early Central American ceramics as sources for simple geometric and organic vessel forms.
