3 Davis includes three books and three articles by Screech in her bibliography; Screech's bibliography includes Davis's first book. Pitelka does not cite either scholar, but this is not a weakness, as they both work on later and different material than interests him in this study.
4 Pitelka's discussion of lacquered skulls used by Nobunaga to celebrate a battle victory raises the question of where the line can be drawn between art objects and war trophies (pp. 17–18).
