Description
Paul G. Bahn provides a richly illustrated overview of prehistoric rock art and cave art from around the world.
Summarizing the recent advances in our understanding of this extraordinary visual record, he discusses new discoveries, new approaches to recording and interpretation, and current problems in conservation.
Bahn focuses in particular on current issues in the interpretation of rock art, notably the 'shamanic' interpretation that has been influential in recent years and that he refutes.
This book is based on the Rhind Lectures that the author delivered for the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 2006.
