	Cerámica y Cultura
		La historia de la mayólica española y mexicana. Museo de Arte Popular Internacional. «Mayólica es un término español que se refiere a un método específico de vidriar la loza de barro. Los primeros vidrios que fueron desarrollados en el Cercano y Medio Oriente empleaban el plomo. Estos vidrios eran transparentes, pero con la adición de ciertos minerales, tales como manganeso-pardo o cobre-verde, era posible pintar diseños en un vidrio de plomo porque las pinturas no se fijaban. Entonces, en el siglo IX hubo un descubriemiento notable: por añadir óxido de estaño al vidrio de plomo se podía crear una superficie blanca opaca que cubría el color del barro y servía para pintarse. Esta cualidad de opacidad es una característica única de la mayólica.» EEUU - hispano España México

		National Museum of Natural History.

The North Pacific remained a great blank on world maps until well into the 18th century, less known to outsiders than the unexplored heart of Africa. Yet this vast northern wilderness of mountains, forests, tundra and ice, geographically linking the continents of Eurasia and North America, was in no sense an uninviting wasteland.» «Crossroads of Continents combines modern research in North Pacific anthropology and archeology with the presentation of many important objects from early collections.

Potlatches are to be distinguished from feasts in that guests are invited to a potlatch to share food and receive gifts or payment.
