The manufacturing traces of the turquoise objects and the lapidary technology from Chaco Canyon: an experimental archaeology approach (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emiliano Melgar. Joan Mathien.

There are thousands of turquoise objects found in different sites of the American Southwest, and Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, is known as one of the principal areas that concentrated most of them. Unfortunately, most of the researches about these stones had been focused on their symbolic meaning, morphology, provenance, trade and use, but very few study their manufacturing traces and the organization of their production. In this paper, we will present a technological/traceological approach to...

The presence and potential representation of turquoise at the Mimbres Site of Galaz (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Will Russell. Sarah Klassen. Katherine Salazar.

Turquoise, both the mineral and the color, are inexorably linked to contemporary ideas of the indigenous Southwest. Without doubt, the importance of turquoise extends back into prehispanic times, although we know relatively little about its cultural significance. The mineral turquoise may also have been represented in a more abstract way; J.J. Brody and Stephen Plog have suggested that Chacoan contemporaries of the Mimbres tradition may have used hachured elements on pottery to represent the...

Ritual Practice and Exchange in the Late Prehispanic Western Pueblo Region: Insights from the Distribution and Deposition of Turquoise at Homol’ovi I (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Saul Hedquist.

Archaeological and ethnographic evidence demonstrate the importance of turquoise among past and present Pueblo groups. In this paper I examine the social uses of turquoise and other blue-green minerals at Homol’ovi I, a late prehispanic Hopi village and the most intensively excavated site within the Homol’ovi Settlement Cluster. I explore intra-site patterns of deposition (i.e., the content and context of turquoise deposits) and stylistic variation among objects in an effort to identify...

The Social Use and Value of Blue-Green Stone Mosaics at Sites within Canal System 2, Phoenix Basin, Hohokam Regional System (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsay Shepard. Will Russell. Christopher Schwartz. Robert Weiner.

This is an abstract from the "Journeying to the South, from Mimbres (New Mexico) to Malpaso (Zacatecas) and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Ben A. Nelson" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The occurrence of nonlocal objects, raw materials, and ideas in the southwestern United States (US SW) has long been recognized as evidence of interaction between prehispanic peoples of this region and those of greater Mesoamerica. Though many archaeologists have...

A Technical Study of Casting and Inlay on Chinese Ceremonial Weapons at the Harvard Art Museums (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ariel O'Connor. Katherine Eremin.

The Harvard Art Museums contain one of the world’s largest collections of inlayed Chinese ritual weapons from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE). These weapons are ornately decorated with turquoise inlay, exemplifying power and elitism in early Chinese society; yet little is known about their manufacture and use. A technical study of 32 inlayed weapons and pre-Shang plaques has yielded new observations on early technology and production organization in ancient China, and concluded that the...

Turquoise mosaic skulls - understanding the creation of an object type (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Martin Berger.

In 1932, Alfonso Caso and his team found a human skull decorated with turquoise mosaic tesserae during their well-known excavation of Monte Albán’s Tumba 7. To this day, this is the only artifact of this type to have been found in a documented excavation. Nevertheless, at least twenty turquoise mosaic-decorated human skulls are currently held in museums and private collections. Many of these have been considered forgeries, others are considered authentic. Within this group, there are clear...
