Maya Potters' Indigenous Knowledge

Based on fieldwork and reflection over a period of almost fifty years, Maya Potters' Indigenous Knowledge utilizes engagement theory to describe the indigenous knowledge of traditional Maya potters in Ticul, Yucat?n, Mexico. In this heavily illustrated narrative account, Dean E. Arnold examines craftspeople's knowledge and skills, their engagement with their natural and social environments, the raw materials they use for their craft, and their process for making pottery.
