Free Shipping Condition: Brand New Location: Lummi Island, United States Beyond Death: The Chinchorro Mummies of Ancient Chile by Bernardo T. Arriaza. Foreword by John W. Verano. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover with Dust Jacket: 176 ... morepages. Publisher: Smithsonian Institution Press; 1995) Thousands of years before ancient Egyptians mummified their dead elite. The South American Chinchorros performed elaborate mummification rituals for deceased members of every level and age of their society. The Chinchorros are exceptional for the sheer number of known mummies, nearly two hundred, and the variety and complexity of their mummification techniques. Although first discovered in 1917, the Chinchorro mummies are little known throughout the world and most literature about them is in Spanish. In"Beyond Death" Bernardo Arriaza brings to light these unprecedented remains, offers new interpretations of Chinchorro mortuary practices, and reconstructs this culture's daily life of 8,000 years ago. While this early South American society left no written record describing their customs and concept of death. The mummified remains provide clues to their culture. The Chinchorros lived as fishermen on the Pacific Coast of Northern Chile and Southern Peru for millennia. While they did not have ceramics, woven cloth, or metal tools, the early Chinchorros developed a complex process of skinning, eviscerating, and reconstructing a body so that it has remained preserved for 8,000 years. Arriaza details three distinctive styles of mummification in addition to bandaged mummies: the earliest"black mummies" coated with manganese paste; the"red mummies" coasted with red ocher; and the mud-coasted mummies of the latest period. Arriaza describes the clothing. Simple ornaments, and everyday tools that accompanied the bodies, and he speculates that people who concentrated so much energy in caring for their dead must have had a strong belief in the afterlife. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, biology, and Andean cosmology, Arriaza discusses the Chinchorro notion of death, their supernatural b

THE HERITAGE OF UPPER CANADIAN FURNITURE- A Study in the Survival of Formal and Vernacular ... moreStyles from Britain. America and Europe, 1780-1900. By Howard Pain, Van Nostrand Reinhold Ltd. NY, 1978. THE HERITAGE OF UPPER CANADIAN FURNITURE is a book of firsts. It is meant for both the serious collector and those who are only beginning to become interested. Never before has Canadian furniture been illustrated so lavishly or completely; the 1.450 plates(249 in color) portray the best examples of Upper Canadian furniture so that they can be identified and evaluated. And never before has the furniture been written about with such clarity and authority. Howard Pain[the author] has given us the only complete reference work on this fascinating and unique body of furniture. This text“is the first book to deal in a comprehensive way with both formal and vernacular styles in Upper Canada. And the first to show their interdependence. More importantly, it is the only work to trace and explain the furniture’s diverse cultural origins. The impression has often been given that Upper Canadian furniture originated almost entirely in the traditions of British and American immigrants. This book clearly shows that it is the result of complex interrelationships not only among Britons and Americans, but also among European and French Canadian immigrants. The European traditions, especially, contain unique and beautiful furnishings, which were made in Upper Canada with admirable skill using old country methods. After a brief historical discussion of immigration patterns into upper Canada. The author explores and illustrates the broad range of stylistic influences on Upper Canadian furniture, and then proceeds to explain and portray for the first time the four major furniture traditions: Anglo-American, Germanic, Polish and French Canadian. The last chapter deals with imported furniture, pieces brought by Loyalist and later immigrants, sent from the old country o
