Cave art is a subject of perennial interest among archaeologists.
Until recently it was assumed that it was largely restricted to
southern France and northern Iberia, although in recent years new
discoveries have demonstrated that it originally had a much wider
distribution. The discovery in 2003 of the UK's first examples of
cave art, in two caves at Creswell Crags on the
Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border, was the most surprising
illustration of this. The discoverers (the editors of the book)
brought together in 2004 a number of Palaeolithic archaeologists
and rock art specialists from across the world to study the
Creswell art and debate its significance, and its similarities and
contrasts with contemporary Late Pleistocene ('Ice Age') art on the
Continent. This comprehensively illustrated book presents the
Creswell art itself, the archaeology of the caves and the region,
and the wider context of the Upper Palaeolithic era in Britain, as
well as a number of up-to-date studies of Palaeolithic cave art in
Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy which serve to contextualize the
British examples.
