Book Description
Excerpt from A Survey of Ancient Peruvian Art It will be the writer's endeavor to present in this paper a brief review of the various types of art to be found in pre-columbian Peru. The work is the fruit of some four years' study, two years of that period having been devoted to a systematic collec tion of data in various places and under the, direction of various people. As the main purpose will be to establish a basis for the classification of Peruvian art-objects, the study will be con fined to those regions where the form and stratigraphic relations of the various art-types that make up the sequence of cultures have been determined with a reasonable degree of precision. The reader is urged carefully to bear in mind the fact that many of the various types are to be found in regions far removed from those here to be specified. But in those regions which are far from the source of an art-type or culture new environmental and psychological conditions almost inevitably exercise an influ ence which results in profound modifications of the original type. The writer hopes that this paper will help to link certain of the Peruvian arts or cultures with certain types of objects from such regions as Ecuador, Eastern Bolivia, North - western Argen tina and Northern Chile. It may even be possible in time to gather material evidence which will conclusively prove the basic unity of all the more advanced types of art in aboriginal America.

Book Description
Excerpt from Peruvian Antiquities In the prosecution of researches made in the preparation of a work on the antiquities of America generally, it became necessary to examine the book of which a translation is here presented to the reader. On its perusal, it was found to contain, with much that has already been placed in the hands of the English reader, by Mr. Prescott, in his History of the Conquest of Peru, much also that did not fall within the design of his admirable work, and is not generally accessible in our language. The book possessed also additional interest from the fact that it was, in part at least, the production of a native Peruvian of Spanish origin, who, it is believed, had no native predecessor in any similar work but Garcilasso de la Vega, who published the first part of his Commentaries in 1609, and finished the latter in 1616. We have then here the last account of Peru by a native, at a date as late as 1851; and a more particular description of its most ancient architectural remains than is to be found elsewhere. These circumstances led the translator to think that the book would possess an interest for his countrymen, and induced him to devote such leisure as he could snatch from more serious employments to the task of clothing the original in an English dress.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Archaeological Survey of the Nepeña Valley, Peru The figures, which consist of drawings of pottery sherds, are freehand sketches made from color slides taken in Peru. They are not drawn to scale, and are included mainly to illustrate decora tive techniques and to give the reader some visual idea of the types of pottery found on the individual sites. Similarly the plans of the ruins, of which there are about 20, are based on measurements obtained by pacing off the sites. I simply did not have sufficient time while in the field to take accurate measurements. For this reason, the data are not exact. Furthermore, portions-of the architecture may have been buried or destroyed, contributing to additional inaccuracies. The angles at which the walls meet are also not necessarily correct. I have drawn all the corners at right angles except in those places where the aerial photos suggested different angles. In the future I hope to redraw the plans, using blown-up sections of the aerial photos to achieve maximum accuracy.
