Zeitschrift für Ethnologie
A periodical of the Berlin society for anthropology, ethnology and prehistory, published at Braunschweig in 1869 for specialists in ethnology and early human history. Its pictures are plain line drawings of prehistoric pottery and stone objects: a flat sherd with horizontal bands and zigzag chevrons, a curved stone blade, a round-shouldered jar with a stubby lug, and a double-bodied vessel with a bridge handle. A designer might take their simple geometric banding and hatched shading as a source for archaic linear pattern.
