AH301: Art Of The Ancient Americas
Bibliography
Phil Harris
BIBLIOGRAPHY – As with any bibliography this should not be considered your only resource for informative research material, but merely a starting point. The bibliographies of the books listed below and your required texts for this class are an excellent source as well. A great deal has been written on these areas of art history, much of it occurs in anthropological journals which are not carried in our library but should be available through Portland State, Reed, and Lewis and Clark college libraries.
Check with the OCAC librarian for information on finding these more difficult to locate sources, Interlibrary Loan and other options.
