Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 85-93 with cited references. Quarto (10" x 7") bound in original publisher's wrappers. American Antiquity Volume 42, number 4 complete issue. First edition. An interdisciplinary approach to Late Classic Maya polychrome-painted ceramics from Buenavista del Cayo and Cahal Pech, Belize allows for preliminary observations relevant to a better understanding of elite pottery production and use in the western Belize Valley. The combination of typological and contextual data from archaeological investigations of ceramics along with art-historical stylistic analyses and ceramic-paste chemical-composition data identifies ordinary and special-purpose vessels excavated from palace-midden contexts as having been created in the same elite-oriented or "palace" workshop(s) at Buenavista del Cayo. The method allows for the identification of unslipped, monochrome, and polychrome pottery excavated from "palace" contexts at nearby Cahal Pech as products of the "palace" school workshop(s) at Buenavista del Cayo, which implies movement of the ruling elite of the site between the two locales. The method also allows for the identification of a group of multiphase special-purpose ceramics excavated from Buenavista del Cayo "palace" middens whose chemical divergence from the other "palace-school" pottery provides evidence for the existence of different ceramic-paste recipes existing simultaneously within the same "palace" ceramic school or pottery tradition.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. One of the co-authors inscribed this volume to Norman Hammond (who is mentioned twice in the Acknowledgements) as follows, "Dear Norman, with our warm regards and deep appreciation for your thoughtful and helpful comments and insights in developing and revising this paper, Joe and Jennifer" (as the handwriting of both signatures is the same, clearly one co-author signed his or her first name and signed the other co-author's first name as well; because it looks like a woman's handwriting to me, I think that Jennifer Taschek wrote the inscription). Impinging on the signatures is a stamp indicating that this volume was not accessioned by a Harvard University library; leaves have small crease at bottom corner of inner margins (and top corner of the first leaf); tight, text clean.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. xiv+190 pages with figures, charts, maps and appendices. Small quarto (10 1/2" x 7 3/4") bound in original publisher's green wrappers. Middle American Research Institute Publication number 43. First edition. The 1969-71 National Geographic society-Tulane University project was organized specifically to deal with two problems. The first concerned the precise definition of the Rio Bec architectural style and its proper chronological placement. The second involved the determination of the chronological and cultural relationships existing among the Rio Bec, Chenes and Puuc sub-regions. Several secondary results were expected as well. These included the construction of an independent chronological framework for the Rio Bec zone; the establishment of a firm chronological and typological bridge between the isolated culture sequences of northwestern Yucatan and the southern Maya lowlands; and the dating of the massive defensive network at Becan, suspected to be of either Late or Terminal Classic age. Central to the solution of any of these problems was the establishment of a local ceramic sequence for the Rio Bec sub-region. Condition: Light edge wear else a near fine copy.…
