New Light on Old Art: Recent Discoveries in Hunter-Gatherer Rock Art Research (UCLA Institute of Archaeology, Monograph 36) (Cotsen Monograph)

The contributors to this volume discuss a series of these technical, methodological and substantive issues in the analysis of hunter-gatherer rock art. Principally emphasizing North America, the contributions provide summaries of advances in the dating of pictographs and petroglyphs, and interpretations of the art using ethnohistorical, iconographic, stratigraphic, and compartative data, with approaches informed by symbolic, semiotic, and gender studies.
