Item — Box: 1
Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The laminated reprints of paintings and sketches reflect the portions of Bandelier's expeditions reported to Dr. Norton and recorded in Bandelier's journals from the year 1880. The sketches reflect expeditions from a wider range of years (from 1880-1893). Some of these are also alluded to in Bandelier's letters to Norton and in his journals, in which, at times, he makes reference to having drawn the groundplots of particular ruins. Many of the sketches are labeled with regard to place (in New Mexico), while others are left unidentified. Some are accompanied by notes regarding the composition of the buildings and the artefacts found nearby. In some cases, Bandelier has sketched the potsherds related to particular settlements or ruins. Among the other items sketched are pottery, Apache fetishes, Apache headdresses, Zuñi symbols with their corresponding interpretations, graphics, Apache arrows, Apache musical instruments, a medicine bowl, metates and manos, kivas of Santo Domingo Pueblo, "Devils of the Sun," a copper rattle, what appear to be the accoutrements of Matachines dancers, and a "wand" of straw, leather, and parrot feathers. In two cases, sketches are attributed to other parties (Dr. Matthews and Dr. Charles S. Gibson). These sketches are of a Comanche tepee of buffalo skins and a Navajo medicine lodge. One of these sketches is accompanied by a note in Bandelier's hand relating the item to Morgan's work, thus demonstrating Morgan's ever present influence on Bandelier's fieldwork. The named ruins sketched include La Bajada, Potrero de la Cuesta Colorada, Painted Cave (Cueva Pintada), Potrero de las Casas, Santo Domingo Pueblo, San Cristobal, Pueblito, Loma de la Parida, Galisteo, Pueblito de la Parida, Potrero Chato, San Miguel, Horse Pen Valley, Pueblo de Barro, Cerro de San Diego, Loma Pelada, Manzano, El Rito Cliff Rooms, Joyoalana, San José de Las Tusas, Zuñi, Sunflower, Potrero del Alamo, Pueblo del Encierro, San Felipe Pueblo, Cuaray, Tajique, Estufa, Abó, Cañon Quemado, Potrero de las Vacas, and Rito de los Frijoles. Some of these sites are now incorporated into Bandelier National Monument. Unnamed ruins are identified in geographical relation to local ranches, rivers, or acequias. The sketches are numbered, in pencil, by a hand other than Bandelier's. Some are labeled by this unidentified hand as well.
