A Mexican Folk Pottery Tradition
Flora S. Kaplan draws on several disciplines and techniques to describe, classify, and interpret style in the black-on-red glazed pottery tradition of Puebla, Mexico.The concept of style although widely used in archaeology, ethology, and art history often is too vague to be useful in developing either an empirical methodology for its study or in illuminating the creative and cognitive processes in human beings. Kaplan, however, rigorously defines…
Museums and the Making of `Ourselves
Fragile Legacy
Photographs create a tantalizing sense of “being there” while history was being made. They offer a means of entry into cultures that are historically non-literate, stimulating informants' memories and linking their oral traditions to specific events and persons in the culture. Their research potential in West Africa and in Nigeria, in particular, is only now being recognized (Edwards 1990; Kaplan 1990: 317-319; Scherer 1990: 131, 135, 139, 141, 1…
Benin art revisited
Sometimes surprising results were obtained in doing ethnographic fieldwork among the Benin people of southern Nigeria by using photographs of art objects seized by a British military expeditionary force against the Benin kingdom, in 1897. These results have import for the documentation of museum collections today. The more than two thousand objects taken from the Oba's palace in 1897, dating from the 16th to 19th centuries, were sold to offset th…
Some uses of photographs in recovering cultural history at the royal court of Benin, Nigeria
Photographs collected for research in 1980 and in the course of field work at the royal court of Benin in 1982 and 1983 to 1985, as well as photographs taken by the researcher, are used to stimulate, supplement, and support ethnographic study. Many of the photographs are themselves ethnohistoric documents, marking the demise of the autonomy of the Benin kingdom at the end of the nineteenth century, and giving evidence of the impact of colonialism…

The Pottery of Acatlan
Cognitive Mapping of a Folk Taxonomy of Mexican Pottery
A folk taxonomy of cooking pottery from Puebla, Mexico, is derived from potters, according to a method described here. Making no assumptions about the taxonomy, the potters' raw data are subjected to a multivariate analysis. The resulting cognitive mapping reveals an inherent structure that can be interpreted in two dimensions, and attributed to two factors: open/closed pottery types, and multiple/nonmultiple ears. These factors are found to be a…
