Illustrated Catalogue of the Collections Obtained from the Pueblos of Zuñi, New Mexico, and Wolpi, Arizona, in 1881: Third Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1881-82, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1884, Pages 511-594

A scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work presents a detailed account of archaeological and ethnological specimens collected from Native American pueblos, focusing primarily on the Zuñi and Wolpi regions. The catalogue serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding the various artifacts, including tools, pottery, and ceremonial objects, associated with these cultures. The opening of the book begins with a transmittal letter and introduction by James Stevenson, outlining the contributions of several collaborators, particularly emphasizing the invaluable assistance of Frank H. Cushing in compiling the field catalogue due to his knowledge of the Zuñi language. Stevenson explains that the collection comprises nearly five thousand specimens, detailing the types of artifacts—mainly made of stone and clay—that provide insights into the daily lives, traditions, and artistic expressions of the Zuñi and Moki Indians. The catalogue not only lists these items but also includes descriptions of their uses and cultural significance, accompanied by illustrations to enrich understanding for readers interested in anthropology, archaeology, and Native American studies.
