"Historian, ethnologist, museologist, ancient and tribal art dealer and collector William Jamieson's interests evolve around the forgotten cultures and customs of the South Pacific, Indonesian, African, South and North American Indians, and Egyptian. Through an interest in disappearing Andean-Amazonian tribal rituals, Bill has financed and led five expeditions into Ecuador and Peru from 1995 to 2001, researching traditional naturopathic healings and related rituals. Focusing on the Shuar tribe of Ecuador, made famous for their past custom of shrinking heads, Bill has amassed the most extensive Shuar library and archival photos in existence, including a collection of shrunken human heads. Presently, Bill is seeking antique artifacts and collections from the following areas and groups: North American Indian, Eskimo, South Pacific, Indonesia, South America, Africa, Egypt Offering identification to the best of his ability, Bill works at researching material with academic experts and fellow dealers who specialize in each area." -
