Social and behavioral scientists study religion or spirituality in
various ways and have defined and approached the subject from
different perspectives. In cultural anthropology and archaeology
the understanding of what constitutes religion involves beliefs,
oral traditions, practices and rituals, as well as the related
material culture including artifacts, landscapes, structural
features and visual representations like rock art. Researchers work
to understand religious thoughts and actions that prompted their
creation distinct from those created for economic, political, or
social purposes. Rock art landscapes convey knowledge about sacred
and spiritual ecology from generation to generation. Contributors
to this global view detail how rock art can be employed to address
issues regarding past dynamic interplays of religions and spiritual
elements. Studies from a number of different cultural areas and
time periods explore how rock art engages the emotions,
materializes thoughts and actions and reflects religious
organization as it intersects with sociopolitical cultural systems.
