Quarto (10 1/2" x 7 3/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Errata slip laid in. Studies in pre-Columbian Art and archaeology, number 13. First edition. John Rowe offered…a seriation of the Chavin art style based on the master ceramic sequence of the Ica Valley on the south coast of and on his own observations of the architecture and carved sculpture at the type site of Chavin de Huantar. Because many Chavín sites are looted or lack clear stratigraphic layers, the study relies on a stylistic seriation first developed by John Rowe. Rowe based this primarily on the master ceramic sequence of the Ica Valley and monumental stone carvings at Chavín de Huántar. Roe's work acts as a supplement to Rowe's analysis rather than a replacement. He breaks down Chavín art into highly explicit, organized periods (Rowe's Phases A through D), focusing on iconographic details like mouth bands, agnathic (jawless) mouths, and feline eye forms. The primary goal of Roe's monograph was to apply this highly refined, highlands-derived stylistic sequence to the relative dating of Chavínoid centers scattered along the Peruvian North Central Coast. By examining decorative depictions on ceramics and textiles across valleys like Casma and Nepeña, Roe was able to track how Chavín art features were grafted onto pre-existing, local construction and craft traditions.

A Further Exploration of the Rowe Chavin Seriation and Its Implications for North Central Coast Chronology Introduction From the Foreword: " As THE TITLE INDICATES, I intend this seriation to act as a supplement to, rather than a replacement of, John Rowe's analysis. However, the present study was don…e as independently as possible of Rowe's exact procedure, a task facilitated by his previous exposition of the Chavin style (Rowe 1962, 1967), which delineated the main characteristics of its evolution and was not intended to provide an exhaustive discussion of all diagnostic criteria. The primary aim here is to make the content of each period more explicit. Thus I hope that it will now be easier to make precise statements about the dating of a particular piece, by employing some of the features and organization developed here, than was possible by using Rowe's published works alone. While agreeing with Rowe (1967:77) that "it is not necessary to be able to place every piece," I have tried to assign more pieces to specific periods than he did, with the hope of detecting patterns from the resultant array of dated specimens. The relative dating of the Chavinoid centers of the North Central Coast will be a unifying problem of this exercise. Immediately relevant, then, is a seriation of the human figure, a task not undertaken by Rowe. Donald Lathrap has assembled some notes on the subject which he was kind enough to let me examine. A similar examination of the chronological implications of the snake motif is a further requirement in this study. Here, too, the discussion follows Lathrap's notes quite closely, although I hope that enough original observations will follow so as to make this more than a clerical exercise in judicious plagiarism. At this point in the history of research in the problem area, this paper can be regarded as no more than an argument in relative dating that will either be supported or refuted by future stratigraphic work. . Methodological Considerations'. " SERIATING across topography and distance, as I will attempt to do here, is at best a hazardous undertaking. However, Rowe has demonstrated that the Chavin style was sufficiently rigid in the control and application of its canons to warrant qualified comparisons with a coastal valley as far away as lea (Rowe 1967: 73-4; Menzel, Rowe, and Dawson 1964:4). To obviate the confusion of geographical (regional) and chronological variables, I will try to keep them as separate as possible, following Rowe's lead in limiting the first version of the seriation to Chavin de Huantar itself. "When we say that an object from some other part of the country is decorated in the Chavin style we mean that it is substantially the same style as the. . . " 80 pages.
