Petroglyphic rock art in three valleys of Mongolia's Altai
Mountains reveals the anatomy of deep time at the boundary between
Central and North Asia. Inscribed over a period of twelve
millennia, its subject matter, styles, and manner of execution
reflect the constraints of changing geology, climate, and
vegetation. These valleys were created and shaped by ancient
glaciers. Analysis of their physical environment, projected from
the deep past to the present, begins to explain the rhythm of
cultural manifestations: where rock art appears, when it
disappears, and why. The material and this remote arena offer an
ideal laboratory to study the intersection of prehistoric culture
and paleoenvironment.
