Paperback. Condition: Fine condition. Second Edition, 1994 (so stated). Los Angeles: Fowler Museum of Cultural History / University of California , 1994. 8.5" wide by 11" tall. A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Lavishly illustrated with 2 maps, and 243 photographs, including 161 in full color. Bibliography. English language version of the catalogue of an exhibition at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History. From the foreword: "ROYAL TOMBS OF SIPAN was written to serve as a catalogue for the museum exhibition of the same name. Its primary aim is to provide an account of the discovery, excavation, and current interpretation of the three royal tombs that were scientifically recovered from Sipan between 1987 and 1990. We have tried to relate them to the royal tomb that, so tragically, was looted at Sipan before the archaeological work began, and to demonstrate the value of careful archaeological excavation as opposed to clandestine looting. Although it is hoped that the detailed accounts of the tombs provided here will be useful for scholars, the volume was written primarily for the non-specialist. The story is presented in narrative form, often using phrases like 'we found,' 'we thought,' or 'we realized.' The reader might infer from this that 'we' means simply the authors. But the team was much larger than the authors of this volume, and both responsibility and primary involvement in distinct aspects of the work were often divided. Walter Alva was the archaeologist who directed the excavations at Sipan, assisted by archaeologists Luis Chero and Susana Meneses. Working with a wonderful team of archaeology students from The Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, they discovered all three of the royal tombs at Sipan, and saw to it that each was documented in an exemplary fashion. Christopher Donnan was at Sipan to witness most of the major stages in the excavation, and to discuss the interpretation of the tombs and their contents with the Peruvian archaeologists who excavated them. His primary role was the iconographic analysis -- identifying the tombs' objects and individuals by comparisons with their representation in Moche art, and relating the tombs and their contents to specific aspects of Moche culture. Much of this work was done in the Moche Archive at the University of California in Los Angeles, and involved close collaboration with his research associate, Donna McClelland."
