new world artifacts
"New World artifacts" typically refer to objects, tools, artworks, and other items created by the indigenous cultures of the Americas (the "New World" from a European perspective) before and after European contact. These artifacts provide valuable insights into the civilizations of the Aztecs, Maya, Inca, Olmec, Mississippian cultures, and many others. Types of New World Artifacts: Ceramics & Pottery Intricately designed vessels, figurines, and ceremonial objects (e.g., Maya polychrome pottery, Moche erotic pottery). Stone Carvings & Sculptures Aztec calendar stone, Olmec colossal heads, Inca stone masonry. Textiles & Clothing Andean woven textiles (e.g., Paracas mantles), feathered Aztec garments. Metalwork Gold and silver objects from the Inca, Muisca, and Mixtec cultures (e.g., the Muisca golden raft). Jade & Turquoise Objects Maya jade masks, Aztec turquoise mosaics (e.g., the double-headed serpent). Codices & Writing Systems Maya bark-paper books, Mixtec screenfold manuscripts. Weapons & Tools Obsidian blades (Macuahuitl), Inca sling stones, bone tools. Architectural Relics Carved stelae, temple ornaments, and sacrificial altars. Famous New World Artifact Discoveries: Machu Picchu (Inca) Rediscovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. The Tomb of Pakal the Great (Maya, Palenque) A richly decorated sarcophagus. The Aztec Sun Stone A massive carved stone depicting Mesoamerican cosmology. The Spiro Mounds Effigy Pipes (Mississippian culture) Intricate stone pipes. The Lord of Sipán Tomb (Moche) A royal burial with gold and silver treasures.
