Opis

This volume contains cutting-edge contributions that consider new approaches to the documentation of rock art, its interpretation using indigenous knowledge, and the presentation of rock art. The first edited book to consider each of these areas in a theoretical rather than a technical fashion, this work aims to promote the sharing of new experiences between leading researchers in the field. Beginning with a dialogue about shared experiences between researchers in southern Africa and northern Europe, the chapters then share, for the first time, the published results of new collaborative research between scholars from these two centers. Since this volume covers the recording, interpretation, and presentation of rock art, it will attract a wide audience of researchers, heritage managers, and students, as well as anyone interested in the field of rock art studies.
