Edited by: and
Abstract
Rock art is one of the nearly visible and geographically widespread of cultural expressions, and it spans much of the period of our species' existence. Stone art besides provides rare and oft unique insights into the minds and visually creative capacities of our ancestors and how selected rock outcrops with distinctive images were used to construct symbolic landscapes and shape worldviews. Equally important, rock art is often central to the expression of and date with spiritual entities and forces, and in all these dimensions it signals the diversity of cultural practices, across place and through time. Over the by 150 years, archaeologists accept studied ancient arts on rock surfaces, both out in the open and within caves and rock shelters, and social anthropologists have revealed how people today use fine art in their daily lives. The Oxford Handbook of the Archæology and Anthropology of Rock Art showcases examples of such enquiry from around the world and across a broad range of cultural contexts, giving a sense of the art's regional variability, its antiquity, and how information technology is meaningful to people in the recent past and today – including how we have ourselves tended to make sense of the art of others, replete with our own preconceptions. It reviews past, present, and emerging theoretical approaches to rock art investigation and presents new, cutting edge methods of stone fine art analysis for the student and professional researcher akin.
