Pottery Of Prehistoric Honduras

by Marilyn Beaudry-Corbett

19,88€ + 10% CARD

 The contributors to this volume have addressed issues of systematics in pottery analysis that perplex archaeologists wherever they work.

An in-process statement of what we are learning from pottery about chronology, interactions, and the nature of regional cultural development, this volume can be used by archaeologists working in southern Mesoamerica and northern Central America, who will find it valuable for comparative analysis, and by archaeologists dealing with issues of systematics in pottery analysis in different culture areas but facing many of the same problems that researchers do in Honduras.
