5.0 out of 5 stars Classic reference book on Hopi pottery & sybology, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Designs on Prehistoric Hopi Pottery (Paperback)

Reprint of portion of Bureau of Ethnology Report #17, 1895 and #33 (I don't know the date). Not the easiest reading, but important primary resource. Fewkes was not the most meticulous archaeologist, but for his day he was pretty good, and he obtained his information at an early period in the ethological research of the Hopi culture.
