Book Description
Excerpt from Anthropological Studies in California It is not intended in the present paper to enter into a systematic discussion of Californian archaeology and ethnology, but rather to present such materials as it has been my good fortune to acquire during a brief period of exploration, mainly in the central portions of the State.1 In order that these observations may have, in a measure, the proper setting, 'a few introductory remarks in explanation of general anthropological conditions on the Pacific coast are presented.

Excerpt from Contribution to the Physical Anthropology of California: Based on Collections in the Department of Anthropology of the University of California and in the U. S. National Museum The data thus accumulated are not as homogeneous as desir able; the American collections require a restudy by modern methods and instruments; nevertheless we are comparatively rich in the craniological knowledge of the region covered, which is an additional stimulus for extending the investigation over the remainder of the State.

Book Description
Excerpt from University of California Publications in History, Vol. 4 Yet when I say that anthropology is a young science I mean no more than this, that in the unfolding of that full bloom of rational culture, which sprang from the seeds of the Renais sance, and of which we are the heirs and trustees, anthropology found its place in the sunlight later than most; and almost alone among the sciences can reckon any of its founders among the living. This was of course partly an accident of birth and cir cumstance; for in the House of Wisdom there are many man sions; a Virchow, a Bastian, or a Tylor might easily have strayed through the gate of knowledge into other fields Of work; just as Locke and Montesquieu only narrowly missed the trail into anthropology.

Handbook of the Indians of California
Author: Alfred Louis KroeberPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Indians of North America
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Originally published in 1925, this monograph is a representative work of Alfred L. Kroeber’s (1876-1960) contributions to American Indian ethnology. It also illustrates why Kroeber, a noted American anthropologist and founder of the anthropology department at the University of California at Berkeley, is considered to be the father of California Indian studies. Kroeber’s handbook provides a comprehensive look at the Indians of California and offers a foundation for the ethnographical study of California’s Native American cultures. In addition to the vast amount of textual information presented by Kroeber, the handbook offers a wide range of additional resources to enhance the reading and research experience. There are a number of tables as well as a variety of illustrations, including photographs, text figures, and maps. The bibliography and indexes are designed to facilitate further discovery of information. Kroeber’s work remains to this day as a classic cultural documentation of the Indians of California. Kroeber’s monograph endeavors to provide not only the most recent body of knowledge available at the time of its publication, but it also dedicates a chapter to the topic of prehistory. The Handbook of the Indians of California is one of many titles published as a series of bulletins by the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology. A physical copy of this publication, officially released as Bulletin 78, is part of the William Smith Mason Collection of Western Americana, which resides in The Claremont Colleges Library Special Collections.
