4.0 out of 5 stars
an Exhaustive look at Native American obsession with trophies,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Taking and Displaying of Human Body Parts as Trophies by Amerindians (Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology) (Paperback)
This book is an exhaustive and detailed look at Native American (or early man in the Americas) habit of taking various body parts as trophies in war, battle and other arenas. At almost 700 pages, it is a completely comprehensive work on the subject. From skull bowls, to finger necklaces, this book has it all. Seems to dispel the notion that all Native Americans respected their dead, the driving notion behind the NAGPRA law. One wonders how this is justified in the NA mind, and if the authors of NAGPRA have ever studied this subject. I do recommend this book for your library on NA but it is not something you will finish in two days as a quick read. However it is a book you can come back to time after time and is well worth the price.
