Item description from seller

80 pages with charts, tables (one folding), figures, drawings, illustrations and bibliography. 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.
