What does rock art say about gender and how can our understanding
of gender shape the way that we view rock art? A significant
contribution to the relatively unexplored field of gender in rock
art, this volume contains a wealth of information for
archaeologists, anthropologists, and art historians interested in
past gender systems. Hays-Gilpin argues that art is at once a
product of its physical and social environment and at the same time
a tool of influence in shaping behavior and ideas within a society.
Taking this stance, rock art is shown to be very often one of the
strongest lines of evidence avaliable to scholars in understanding
ritual practices, gender roles, and ideologicial constructs of
prehistoric peoples. Subsequently issues of representation and the
people who made these forms of art are also discussed.
