Definitive work on Pre columbian ceramics of Colombia

I have read a number of works attempting to describe the archaeology and ethno history of the indigenous tribes of Colombia prior to the conquest. My interest has always been primarily on the ceramic art. Too often works purported to be about these tribes are either dry archaelogical reports or museum books fascinated with the glitter of the immense gold collections in public and private collections. This work gives the most up to date information about the archeological work done in a concise summary form. It also provides rich detailed maps of the various tribes, Tumaco, Narino, Quimbaya, Sinu, Tairona, their cultural overlap and a good idea about the complex mountain and river system of Colombia. The photos of the ceramics and the types included to illustrate the tribal styles are of the highest quality I have ever seen. It is a coffe table style soft cover book produced by Rizzoli one of the best publishers of art and architectural books.
