Book excerpt: The Chipola River Valley in northwest Florida is an area of extensive occupation by pre-contact peoples, dating as far back as the Paleo-Indian time period (approximately 11,000 BC). With such a rich archaeological history, it has enticed many local divers to explore river bottoms and collect artifacts. I worked with one local collector to study over 700 projectile points found in the Chipola River. The collector has taken great care to protect and preserve these points and, in many cases, documented the GPS coordinates from where they were collected. Using the GPS coordinates and ArcMap, I have been able to compare where these artifacts were collected to the locations of known archaeological sites which had been previously documented along the Chipola. With this new data set, I used landscape theory to compare prehistoric settlement patterns in the Southeast to the patterns derived from this collection. Overall, this project has documented 80 new sites within the region, filling in areas of the river which previously had no known prehistoric sites. The work also added information for 19 previously-known sites, extending the occupations of some to either later or earlier time periods. Finally, this work can be used to evaluate various models of the early human settlement in the region, specifically the Oasis Model. I hope the success of this project encourages other archaeologists to work with knowledgeable collectors and avocationals to learn more about the archaeological history of different regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the Collecting Indian Artifacts series focuses on those artifacts which were carefully flaked from stone over the thousands of years that make up America's prehistoric past. Weapons such as arrowheads, dart points, and spear tips are covered in depth, but also discussed are the multitude of other artifact tool types that were manufactured long ago. Large hoes and spades were made for cultivating crops; drills, awls, and reamers for crafting items from slate, wood, leather, and skins; and axes, celts, adzes, and chisels for chopping and woodworking were flaked into shape by ancient man in North America. With over 25 years experience in the artifact collecting community including operating one of the nations fastest growing prehistoric artifact auction houses, the author has compiled hundreds of full-color photos of authentic artifacts from across the country along with their associated values to give the reader a well rounded and comprehensive understanding of the many types of flint relics being collected and their current collectible value in today's market. 2010 values.

Download or read book The Nature of Classical Collecting written by Alexandra Bounia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of collecting as a systematic activity undertaken for symbolic rather than actual needs, is traditionally taken to originate in the middle of the fifteenth century, when the first cabinets of curiosities appear in Italy. Yet it is clear that the practice of collecting started long before that, indeed its origins can be traced back thousands of years to European prehistoric communities. Whilst this early genesis is, due to lack of written records, still shrouded in much mystery, The Nature of Classical Collecting argues that the collecting practices of classical Greece and Rome offer a rich tapestry of experiences which can be reconstructed to illuminate a pivotal period in the long and ever developing phenomenon of collecting. Utilizing a wide variety of examples of classical collections - including grave goods, the accumulations of Greek temples and open-air shrines, the royal collections of Hellenistic kings, Roman art and curiosity collections, and relics - The Nature of Classical Collecting focuses on the field of the 'pre-history' of collecting, a neglected yet critical phase that helped crystallize the western concept of collecting. Drawing primarily on Latin writings from the period 100 BCE to 100 CE it shows how collecting underwent a transition from a religious and political activity, to an intellectual practice in which connoisseurship could impart social status. It also demonstrates how the appreciation of objects and artists changed as new qualities were attributed to material culture, resulting in the establishment of art markets, patronage and an interest in the history of art. By exploring these early developments, The Nature of Classical Collecting not only provides a fascinating insight into the culture of late Hellenistic/early Imperial Roman collecting, but also offers a much fuller grounding for understanding the influences and inspirations of those Renaissance collectors who themselves were to have such a profound influence on the course of European art, architecture and culture.

Book excerpt: Lar Hothem's newest book, Ornamental Indian Artifacts, has over a dozen major chapters, ranging from prehistoric to early historic to more recent times. The book contains over 1,800 color photographs, each with information on type, materials, size, origin, and a current collector value. Popular artifact types including bannerstones, gorgets, pendants, pipes, discoidals, and plummets, are shown. Many of the artifacts are from advanced private collections and have never before been seen in any publication. Two growing collecting fields, Eskimo and Latin American artifacts, are explored this time. A general information chapter provides interesting background facts about ornamental artifacts, while another explores the subject from an archaeological perspective. There is a large chapter on recent auction results so that collectors can see what some artifacts have brought during competitive bidding. Fans of Hothem's other Indian titles will once again be delighted with his latest book! 2007 values.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antique Gems: Their Origin, Uses, and Value as Interpreters of Ancient History; And as Illustrative of Ancient Art; With Hints to Gem Collectors Probably at no period in England has art in its various relations been so intelligently illustrated and so fully investigated as during the last ten years. The numerous exhibitions of works of art, both in this country and on the Continent, have doubtless partly contributed to this result; and with increased development of taste there has spring up at the same time an earnest desire to investigate the principles of ancient art in its various productions, and to trace the different phases through which it has passed before it attained its highest degree of excellence. Every department of art, both ancient and mediaeval, has found its expositor or historian; and the amateur or student who desires to make himself acquainted with the painting, sculpture, or pottery of ancient or mediaeval times, can at once be referred to able treatises which will furnish him with the fullest information on those and kindred subjects.

Download or read book Who Owns Antiquity? written by James Cuno and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether antiquities should be returned to the countries where they were found is one of the most urgent and controversial issues in the art world today, and it has pitted museums, private collectors, and dealers against source countries, archaeologists, and academics. Maintaining that the acquisition of undocumented antiquities by museums encourages the looting of archaeological sites, countries such as Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and China have claimed ancient artifacts as state property, called for their return from museums around the world, and passed laws against their future export. But in Who Owns Antiquity?, one of the world's leading museum directors vigorously challenges this nationalistic position, arguing that it is damaging and often disingenuous. "Antiquities," James Cuno argues, "are the cultural property of all humankind," "evidence of the world's ancient past and not that of a particular modern nation. They comprise antiquity, and antiquity knows no borders." Cuno argues that nationalistic retention and reclamation policies impede common access to this common heritage and encourage a dubious and dangerous politicization of antiquities--and of culture itself. Antiquities need to be protected from looting but also from nationalistic identity politics. To do this, Cuno calls for measures to broaden rather than restrict international access to antiquities. He advocates restoration of the system under which source countries would share newly discovered artifacts in exchange for archaeological help, and he argues that museums should again be allowed reasonable ways to acquire undocumented antiquities. Cuno explains how partage broadened access to our ancient heritage and helped create national museums in Cairo, Baghdad, and Kabul. The first extended defense of the side of museums in the struggle over antiquities, Who Owns Antiquity? is sure to be as important as it is controversial.
