| Summary | "Illustrated Catalogue of the Collections Obtained from the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona in 1879" by James Stevenson is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an extensive catalogue detailing the findings from ethnological and archaeological explorations of various Pueblo tribes, specifically highlighting their pottery, tools, and domestic items. The catalogue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the material culture of the Indigenous peoples of the Southwestern United States during this period. At the start of the catalogue, Stevenson outlines the purpose of his work and provides insights into the collections obtained during expeditions in 1879, focusing especially on the contributions of team members and the significance of the collected artifacts. He introduces the various categories of items found, such as pottery, tools, and ceremonial objects, emphasizing the variety and craftsmanship present in each piece. Through detailed descriptions, the opening portion sets the stage for understanding the cultural heritage of the tribes studied, reflecting the blend of ancient traditions and contemporary practices observable in their artifacts.
