  • History and ethnography of some West Indian starches

    William C SturtevantCHAPTERDomestication and Exploitation of…2017

    The region involved is the West Indies, especially the Greater Antilles—the islands of Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Cuba—with some attention to some of the Lesser Antilles. The starch-rich stem sometimes weighs several pounds, and is subterranean in all the eight or so closely similar Antillean species. Despite what was a biological and cultural disaster, there is a surprising continuity of Indian cultural traits. The pressed flour was p…

    The Holly Oak pendant is a shaped piece of marine whelk (Busycon sinistrum) shell with two holes drilled in one end that bears an incised depiction of an extinct proboscidean (woolly mammoth or mastodon). It allegedly was recovered in 1864 from an archaeological site in Delaware. There was speculation in the 1970s as to its age and significance, and it was illustrated and cited as a Paleoindian artifact of Pleistocene age. Subsequent analyses ind…

  • The Unkindest Cut, or Who Invented Scalping

    James Axtell, William C SturtevantARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly1980Citada por: 8

    tTt HE traditional wisdom of American history asserts that savage Indians scalped civilized whites in their resistance to taming of continent. Accordingly, when invasion of North America began, Europeans were innocent of practice, and though they eventually adopted it for their own bloody purposes, their teachers were still Indians, who had invented and perfected art. Increasingly in recent years, this traditional wisdom has been assailed as a se…

  • Patagonian Giants and Baroness Hyde de Neuville's Iroquois Drawings

    William C SturtevantARTICLEEthnohistory1980

    There is a pictorial as well as a literary tradition regarding Patagonian giants that lasted nearly 300 years after Magellan's discovery of 1520 and was partially confirmed by anthropometry. At the upper end of this tradition, an engraving of Patagonian giants served as the model for a watercolor by the Baroness Hyde de Neuville, most of whose other drawings of American Indians (mainly of Iroquois, themselves very tall) were done from life in New…
