Section 8: Art du Paleolithique Superieur et du Mesolithique / Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Art - Sessions generales et posters / General Sessions and Posters (Paperback)

These nineteen papers form the proceedings of Section 8 of the Acts of the XIVth UISPP Congress held at the University of Liege in 2001. They focus on the iconography, symbolism and ideology of Rupestrian art from the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic perids. Supported throughout by illustrated examples, the papers discuss: the anthropological information revealed by Rupestrian art; the purpose and vocabulary of cave art; the themes and mythology; comparisons with the art of Native Americans. The volume includes case studies which cover evidence from Spain, Siberia, the Alps, the Dordogne, Lake Onega in Russia, Denmark, Norway and central Europe. Ten papers in English, the remainder in French.
