SPACE AND TIME PERSPECTIVE IN NORTHERN ST. JOHN'S ARCHEOLOGY, FLORIDA
New Haven: Yale University Press, 1952. Illustrated. Signed by Goggin on the title page and uncommon thus. John Mann Goggin [1916 –1963] was a cultural anthropologist in the southwest, southeast, Mexico, and Caribbean, primarily focusing on the ethnology, cultural history, and typology of artifacts from archaeological sites. Goggin's theories on chronology of specimens and his revolutionary approach to archeology paved the way for modern archaeologists. Though he died well before he became a nationally renowned anthropologist, his ideology became fundamental in modern anthropology. Goggin refused to be called an archaeologist in favor of his all-encompassing view on the subject. More specifically, he mapped out the first cultural and natural history of Florida. And Goggin incorporated archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, history, and natural history to assign a chronological history to a cultural group based on trends and “cultural patterns. Uncommon to find a signed copy of this work. 8vo., blue cloth, stamped in gilt, issued without a dust jacket;, with fold-out map. Very Good (covers nice; contents clean & tight). Item #57831
