Summary "Ancient Pottery of the Mississippi Valley" by William H. Holmes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive study of the ceramic art produced by the ancient inhabitants of the Mississippi Valley, focusing specifically on the characteristics, functionalities, and artistic styles of their pottery. It delves into various aspects, such as construction methods, ornamental techniques, and the cultural significance of these artifacts. The opening of the study introduces its intent as part of a broader series of research on aboriginal ceramic art. Holmes outlines the scope of his examination, emphasizing that the collection he selected from various museums is representative of a limited yet significant area within the Mississippi Valley. He categorizes the pottery into three main groups based on geographical regions and acknowledges the variability in styles across these classes. Notably, he provides observations about the origins and functions of the pottery, as well as the evolutionary aspects of ceramic design, paving the way for a detailed classification and analysis of these historic relics.
