Maya and US Southwest Archeology eBooks by Earl H. Morris
/A little archaeology from the early 1900s…books available from Internet Archive with great illustrations made immediately after excavations:
The Temple of the warriors at Chichen Itzá, Yucatan (plates) (1930)
Earl H. Morris did archaeological field work from 1912 to 1940….contributing artifacts to institutions that supported his work and a myriad of publications until his death in 1956. Both books are well worth the time to browse.
The first book’s pictures of pottery from the southwest reminded me of a visit to the Arizona State Museum’s The Pottery Project room….it was a place to savor shapes and patterns…I spent more time in that room than any other at the museum.
