RAMON DACAL-MOURE, MANUEL RIVERO DE LA CALLE - Art and archaeology of pre-Columbian Cuba

Title: Art and archaeology of pre-Columbian Cuba
Description: University of PITTSBURGH, 1996. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 134. Art and Archaeology of Pre-Columbian Cuba presents a number of works, sixteen reproduced in color, by pre-Columbian artists from the archipelago, covering three millennia of human life in Cuba. Ramon Dacal Moure and Manuel Rivero de la Calle describe and interpret the two kinds of prehistoric art found on the island: that of original settlers, the Ciboneys, and that of the Tainos, who had largely replaced the Ciboneys by the time of Columbus. More than 100 photographs reveal the superb artistry of the Ciboney and Taino cultures. The project began when Thor Heyerdahl was asked to suggest a translator for a scientific manuscript. He recommended Daniel H. Sandweiss, an archaeologist then working with Heyerdahl on a site in Peru. David Watters, an archaeologist joined Sandweiss in editing the material. Through Art and Archaeology of Pre-Columbian Cuba, archaeologists and other professionals as well as general readers will come to admire and respect the talent visible in these examples of aboriginal art.
