[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

A seminal book on Native American headpots has been written by James  
F. Cherry. Mr. Cherry went to every museum in the country that has  
headpots in their collections and took photos for the book. It is a  
comprehensive photo collection of every known headpot. The name of the  
book is "Headpots of Northeast Arkansas and Southern Pemiscot County,  
Missouri" Mr. Cherry spent 25 years on the project. F. Kent Reilly  
said of this book, “This splendid new volume makes not only an  
important contribution to the art history and archaeology of ancient  
native American cultures in eastern North America but provides  
archaeologists, art historians, museum professionals and general  
researchers with a full catalog of this specific ceramic genre.”  
Reilly continues, “I am certain this book will remain seminal to the  
field for many years to come.”
