About This Item
Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x0x9. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Totaling approximately 40,000 objects, the University Museum's ethnographic holdings represent native peoples from ten North American culture areasâthe Arctic, Subarctic, Northwest Coast, California, Plateau, Great Basin, Southwest, Great Plains, Northeast, and the Southeast.This guide highlights the strength of the collections and demonstrates how objects are tied to history and people living within different cultural and social contexts. It also underscores that objects have different multiple meanings. Some objects illustrate intertribal relations; others best reflect collecting attitudes at the turn of the century when much of the Museum's collections was acquired.Visitors and off-site readers will learn about such related archival resources as documentation and photographs, past and present Museum exhibitions, current research, repatriation, and contemporary collections development.
