Research

I have been trying to research for my ceramic monkey vessel for North Peru. You suggested Chris Donnan but I am having a very hard time finding him. Do you know a specific book that I could look at, I saw one called Ceramics of Ancient Peru but once I look through your search engine I cannot find it. Any suggestions?

I went to the main library and searched for 'Christopher Donnan' and found some books. Strangely, nothing came up with just 'Donnan' or 'Chris Donnan'.

If you vessel is in the MFAH, I went to the Hirsch and the ladies there pulled up like 8 books related to my piece. I would suggest starting there if you can't find a certain book.

Way to go, Courtney. That's a very efficient way to find stuff. But use JSTOR and the terms "moche" and "ceramic" to get started. Use the same search terms in other relevant databases (see Essay Instructions or talk to an Art Librarian).
