AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study discusses the effects of tourism and commercial collecting on the ceramic art of the Shipibo-Conibo people. Lathrap describes the various types of ceramic vessels in daily household use which are classifiable within a system of functionally meaningful categories: QUENTI (for cooking); CHOMO (storage container for liquid); QUENPO (cup); and QUENCHA (food bowl). The author also discusses changes in style and decoration of the ceramic ware as the result of the tourist trade. A lengthy bibliography will be found on pages 371-393 of the text.
