The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant
interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and
offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas, along
with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters
deliver a personal approach to the many issues, themes and
approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of
western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often
dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well studied
regions, the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an
ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the
production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus,
the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art,
illustrating the richness, chronology and context of these unique
artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art
imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in
which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the
book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a
broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and
anthropology, history of art, as well as professionals engaged in
rock art heritage and conservation.
