Description: The Aymara materials in the Lounsbury Papers consist of comparative linguistics and studies of kinship in Series II. Of particular interest are the audio recordings in Series VII on the folklore of the Ayar Incas. The correspondence, in Series I, contains information of the geographic distribution of the language, Lounsbury's analysis of the language and its relationship to Quechua, Christian scriptures in Aymara, Morris Swadesh's work on genetic classification of Native American languages, and geographic distribution of Aymara population.

Subject:Archaeology
Type:Text
Genre:Sketches
Extent:2 volumes
Description: Volume 1-186 leaves of text. Volume 2-179 leaves of sketches and ink washes. One of several copies made of the drawings of Josef Castaneda and the accompanying text of Dupaix, describing archaeological discoveries made upon three expeditions to Palenque, Mitla, etc., during the years 1805-1807. The drawings lack the Egyptian and Hebraic distortions found in the published versions; the text has been collated to follow King (1831), but an older system of numbering and crossed-out portions of text follow Baradere (1834).
