Understanding the Rock Art of Sedona

There are over 450 recorded rock art sites in the Sedona/Verde Valley of Arizona. Many visitors express great interest in the rock art and bring many questions. Who made them? How have they lasted this long? What do they mean? This book is not a scientific monograph on rock art. It does not contain elaborate bibliographic sources, although some are quoted and referenced. This book is intended to be a useful and thought-provoking introduction to the vast, scattered and sometimes unpublished literature on rock art, with specific focus on images and styles found in the Sedona/Verde Valley area. It is hoped that it will promote reflection on and appreciation of the people who created the rock art hundreds of years ago.
