Rock art in South America is as diverse as the continent itself. In
this vast territory, different peoples produced engravings,
paintings, and massive earthworks, from the Atacama to the Amazon.
These marks on the landscape were made by all different kinds of
peoples, from some of the earliest hunter-gatherers in the
continent, to the very complex societies within the Inca Empire.
This book brings together the work of specialists from throughout
the continent, addressing this diversity, as well as the variety of
approaches that the Archaeology of rock art has taken in South
America. Constructed of eleven thought-provoking chapters and
arranged in three thematic sections, the book presents different
theoretical approaches that are currently being used to understand
the roles rock art played in prehistoric communities. The editors
have skillfully crafted a book that presents the contribution the
study of South American rock art can offer to the global research
of this materiality, both theoretically and methodologically. This
book will interest a broad range of scholars researching in
archaeology, anthropology, history of art, heritage and
conservation, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students
who will find interesting case studies showcasing the diverse ways
in which rock art can be approached. Despite its focus on South
America, the book is intended as a contribution towards the global
study of rock art.
