Descripción

129-141 pages with map and bibliography. Corners bumped. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. American Antiquity Volume VIII (8) Number 2 complete issue. First edition. Practically all of the aboriginal inhabitants of Canada, including the Eskimo, made and used pottery. The only people who do not seem to have used it are the Indians of the coast and interior of British Columbia; in fact, according to Wissler, practically the whole Pacific belt … is without pottery. As can be seen from the map (Fig. 7), pottery is fairly well distributed over the southern part of Canada, but even here our knowledge of its occurrence is far from complete, owing to the lack of archaeological exploration. There are vast areas elsewhere in Canada from which no pottery has been reported, including southern Ungava, northern Ontario, northern Manitoba, northern and western Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped and rubbed, spine rubbed. N° de ref. del artículo BOOKS001988
