Illustrated by 342 black and white; The Textile Museum is proud indeed to present the extraordinary group of papers that comprise the second volume on textiles dedicated to Junius Bouton Bird, the late trustee of this museum and Curator of South American Archaeology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The papers speak eloquently of the changes that have occurred in the field in the more than ten years since the conference on which the previous publication was based. The change in the name of the volume provides the clue--the descriptor "pre-Columbian" of the previous volume has now been changed to the chronologically broader term "Andean."-Publisher; 3; 384 pp.[less]
