Material
Culture of the Ngatatjara This set complements the previous set in showing how continuity and change in the technology and material culture of Western Australian aborigines has been increasingly influenced by contact with the developed world. The ingenuity of traditional multi-purpose tools such as the spearthrower is illustrated in both their purely practical daily use and in their symbolic, communicative function. By Richard A. Gould. 56 slides -- $59 -- Available on CD-Rom |

Ethnoarchaeology of the
Kalinga This set emphasizes both the technology of pottery making and the subtle ways in which potter variation reflects the social organization and behavior of a living community, that of the Kalinga of the Philippines. Since the focus is on pottery, it has a direct bearing upon both method and theory for the archaeologist, ethnologist and the art historian. By William A. Longacre. 80 slides -- $65 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of all the images in this set. |

Indian Images in Commerce Images of imaginary Indians have been used in American and European media for years. The various guises of Indians reflect various themes in American life--Respectable (or Rousseau) Indian, the Laughable Indian, the Threatening Indian, the Benevolent (or Thanksgiving) Indian, and the Enigmatic Indian. This set illustrates some American views of ethnic minorities; as such it has relevance not only for anthropology, but also for marketing, American history, and American Studies. By Gregory A. Reinhardt. 80 slides -- $56 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of all the images in this set. |

Black Collectibles: Physical Representations of StereotypesMass produced in the U.S. and abroad from the 1880's to the late 1950's, cookie jars, salt shakers, post cards, tourists souvenirs and many other items portraying black people were almost universally derogatory. Users grew to accept the cruelly exaggerated, servile roles depicted in these items and in the media.
