Opis

The people of Casas Grandes in northern Chihuahua, Mexico commemorated their religious system by creating striking polychrome pots with  naturalistic designs. Looking through this window into Casas Grandes cosmology, the authors of this interesting volume find a world centered on shamans and supernatural creatures, challenging long-held beliefs about Southwestern religion and forcing a reconsideration of the importance of shamanism in the development of social differentiation in societies around the world.
