The product of ten years of fieldwork at Little Lake Ranch in
the Rose Valley, the southern gateway to the Owens Valley, this
book presents the results of intensive rock art analyses carried
out by the interdisciplinary research team of the UCLA Rock Art
Archive. The research attempts to establish a connective web of
associations to break down traditional but artificial barriers
between rock art and the rest of archaeology. Through time-honored
methods of stylistic analysis, the focus is on recent breakthroughs
in the analysis of meaning and religion in the context of landscape
attributes and ecological opportunities. Regional or ethnic
differences suggested by the rock art record has made it possible
to create a flexible analytical framework containing previously
unpublished or overlooked archaeological excavation and object
data.
This book describes the occurrence, concentration, distribution,
and formal variation of pecked and painted motifs. Scratched,
pecked, and painted patterns are analyzed separately. Full-color
illustrations throughout enhance the physical appeal of this
beautiful book.
