Professor Daniel Arsenault, along with his wife, Nadine Desbiens,
and stepson, Jacob Desbiens-Doyle, were sadly taken from this world
in 2016 following a tragic car accident. Daniel was the leading
exponent in Canadian Shield rock art. Working in the northern part
of Quebec, Daniel explored many hundreds of square kilometres of
this vast area for rock art. Working with ethnographers and First
Nation people, Daniel became a formidable force in promoting this
little known assemblage, lecturing all over the world and
stimulating audiences wherever he went. Complementing his knowledge
of rock art, Daniel also had a deep understanding of the heritage
of the people whose ancestors made the images. Shortly before his
death, Daniel was made an Erasmus Mundus Professor at Polytechnic
Institute of Tomar in Portugal. Here, he was due to share his
wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm about rock art and cultural
heritage to an attentive audience. Daniel clearly had much more to
offer, and this book is an extension of his ways of thinking. He
has left an important legacy that has touched the lives of many,
including people who contributed to this volume. The book has 14
thought-provoking chapters and deals with Daniel's first love - the
archaeology of artistic endeavour. It gathers together both
academic colleagues and family who share with the reader elements
of Daniel's life. The book is also a serious academic volume,
providing the reader with new ideas about the interpretation and
dating of rock art, ethnography, heritage and material culture.
