Decorated formative period pottery from cochabamba, Bolivia
Stig Rydén's 1961 observation that a certain Formative (pre-Tiahuanaco) pottery was decorated was neglected until our 1984-87 investigations. Our excavations in the Cochabamba Valley yielded one ceramic type with pattern burnishing-Rydén's decoration-dated to between 800 B. C. and A. D. 200, with various attributes permitting more precise temporal placements. The pottery, probably produced in the northern part of the Cochabamba Valley, was found …
The Alleged Diffusion of Hindu Divine Symbols into Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica
Parallels between certain religous symbols in Hindu and Mesoamerican cultures have been drawn by three modern writers and adduced as evidence suggestive of trans-Pacific diffusion of Hindu influences dating to about the mid-1st millennium A.D. and later. The symbols concerned are those of the deities of the lunar asterisms and the planets-the naksatra and navagrahah series, respectively-of the Hindus as compared with the structural features and s…
Ceramic Ecology of the Ayacucho Basin, Peru
The paper examines some of the interrelationships of environment and ceramic specialization in the area around the village of Quinua, Department of Ayacucho,Peru. The study reveals that agricultural land dependent on rainfall provides a significant limiting factor in the development of full-time ceramic specialization. Furthermore, the complex series of Quinua ceramic styles depends upon a diverse set of ceramic resources which are mined nearby i…
