Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study of bonework from the ruins of Hawikuh, New Mexico, a site inhabited by the Zuni people from prehistoric times to 1670. Despite centuries of contact with Spanish explorers and missionaries, the bone objects found at Hawikuh exhibit little influence from outside cultures, showcasing the remarkable continuity of Zuni craftsmanship and traditions. The author meticulously examines a wide range of bone artifacts, including awls, punches, spatulas, weaving tools, needles, and ornaments, providing detailed descriptions, illustrations, and insights into their function and significance. Through careful analysis, the author uncovers the intricate techniques employed by the Zuni in boneworking, and explores the cultural and practical roles of these objects in Zuni society. This book is an invaluable resource for archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the rich material culture of the ancient Zuni people.
