About This Item
Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. 7x0x10. Illustrated. Bringing together scholarship from classics in architecture, archaeology, and iconography, she discusses twenty sites of Mississippian culture, describing the religious patterns of the inhabitants and the sophisticated art works that supported their sacred practices. She also addresses the controversial topic of repatriation of Indian artifacts and the continuing problem of archaeological "looting" of Indian sites and ceremonial centers. Lavishly illustrated with maps, site plans, and photographs of the ruins of ancient ceremonial centers along with sculpture, ceramics, and other artifacts, Lost Cities of the Ancient Southeast captures the timeless beauty and technical sophistication of the art and architecture of pre-Columbian America. Orange cloth with red spine lettering. As new condition. Illustrated (some in color). This book would make a great gift. No writing in the book. xvi, 160pp., index. Full refund if not satisfied.
