About this product
Product Information
Wearing Culture connects scholars of divergent geographical areas and academic fields--from archaeologists and anthropologists to art historians--to show the significance of articles of regalia and of dressing and ornamenting people and objects among the Formative period cultures of ancient Mesoamerica and Central America. Documenting the elaborate practices of costume, adornment, and body modification in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Oaxaca, the Soconusco region of southern Mesoamerica, the Gulf Coast Olmec region (Olman), and the Maya lowlands, this book demonstrates that adornment was used as a tool for communicating status, social relationships, power, gender, sexuality, behavior, and political, ritual, and religious identities. Despite considerable formal and technological variation in clothing and ornamentation, the early indigenous cultures of these regions shared numerous practices, attitudes, and aesthetic interests. Contributors address technological development, manufacturing materials and methods, nonfabric ornamentation, symbolic dimensions, representational strategies, and clothing as evidence of interregional sociopolitical exchange. Focusing on an important period of cultural and artistic development through the lens of costuming and adornment, Wearing Culture will be of interest to scholars of pre-Hispanic and pre-Columbian studies.

Reviews
"A valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the costumes, adornments, and body art of the Mesoamerican and Central American Formative period. It contains detailed descriptions of varied data sets, is abundantly and appropriately illustrated, and includes a plethora of useful references for further investigation." --Frances F. Berdan, Journal of Anthropological Research, "The papers are engaging and well written and have scholarly dimensions that will significantly impact Formative period studies and beyond. The book's fine organization, methodological approaches and varied disciplines create a cohesive story." --Laura M. Amrhein, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, " [Wearing Culture] succeeds in drawing specific and general insights despite the challenges of the archaeological record. . . . This volume will, of course, be of great value to those interested in dress, symbol, and ideology. Surprisingly, however, it might be even more useful to excavators, because it shows how they could use more fully the evidence from burials and their ornament sets to better understand aspects of prehistoric ideologies." --American Anthropologist, " [Wearing Culture] succeeds in drawing specific and general? ?insights despite the challenges of the archaeological? ?record.'
