	The Ishi-Kroeber Case
		He became a good friend of anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber, whose wife, Theodore, who was a writer, published Ishi's biography in 1961, after her husband's death in 1960.
		This aspect shows that Kroeber's intimate friendship with Ishi (Venus) was of the nature of Vesta, that somehow Vesta's interest in the conservation or preservation of the past, of the "cultural heritage" that Ishi incarnated, was to become a very personal or intimate concern for him.
		That the story of Ishi is an essential part of that identity is confirmed by the feelings it is able to evoke in the public, mainly through the work of Theodore Kroeber (and the resulting movie) and her husband, one of the "fathers" of American Anthropology.

		Published in cooperation with The Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois When Alfred Kroeber left Lima, Peru for the ruins of the Nazca region in July 1926, he could have had no inkling of the importance of what he would uncover.
		Kroeber's report contains what is still the only complete analysis and seriation of the beautiful painted pottery of Nazca, complete with over 400 photographs and drawings of objects uncovered in the excavations, some in full color.
		With careful editing by Collier and Carmichael, Kroeber's work is far ahead of its time methodologically and is still an important source document for contemporary archaeology and art history of South America.
