Summary: "Illustrated Catalogue of a Portion of the Collections Made During the Field Season of 1881" by William H. Holmes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work catalogs and documents various ethnologic and archeologic collections obtained by the Bureau of Ethnology, showcasing artifacts collected primarily from Native American sites in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and other regions. The focus of the catalog is on items such as tools, pottery, and ornamental objects, highlighting the cultural practices of indigenous peoples. The opening of the publication provides an introductory overview of the collection process, spearheaded by Edward Palmer, who explored regions associated with the Cherokee Indians and various mounds. As he collected artifacts, the text meticulously describes items like stone tools, earthenware, and shells obtained from these sites, emphasizing their uses and characteristics. The introduction sets the stage for detailed item descriptions and classifications based on locality and material type, thus establishing a comprehensive ethnographic and archeological resource for understanding Native American life during the late 19th century.
