Summary "Illustrated Catalogue of the Collections Obtained from the Indians of New Mexico in 1880" by James Stevenson is a detailed scientific publication written during the late 19th century. This book serves as a catalogue of ethnological and archaeological collections sourced from Pueblo tribes in New Mexico, specifically focusing on the objects and artifacts gathered during field investigations. The catalogue meticulously documents various collections from dozens of Pueblo sites, detailing items such as stone tools, pottery, and other artifacts with descriptions of materials, functions, and the history of their use. Each entry is organized by Pueblo location—offering insights into the craftsmanship and traditional practices of these indigenous peoples. The work emphasizes the impending loss of cultural artifacts and practices due to modernization, documenting the unique artistry and the states of decline in pottery-making, tool usage, and traditional practices as a result of the influence of Eastern civilization and industrialization encroaching on these communities. With its rich illustrations and thorough descriptions, this catalogue provides valuable information for both historians and enthusiasts interested in the Indigenous culture of New Mexico.
