- Substantial monograph (248pp) providing a new way of thinking about rock art regions and group identity from both theoretical and exemplary perspectives. The book intertwines ethnography and rock art analysis with landscape studies at various scales (local, regional, continent-wide). Based on primary fieldwork data from several countries – primarily USA and South Africa – it also includes detailed but theory-driven descriptions of more than 100 indigenous rock art sites. The concluding chapter makes clear that rock art research can and does matter, especially in postcolonial countries – in particular, to the indigenous groups living close to rock art sites today.
