In essence, this is a book about the female body. The Neolithic
figurative representations examined here form part of what is
traditionally called Levantine Rock Art or, more recently, Rock Art
of the Mediterranean Basin of the Iberian Peninsula. The region is
understood to have occupied the whole of the Mediterranean Fringe,
the coastal and pre-coastal regions of the Eastern Iberian
Peninsula, from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the mountainous
regions in the interior of the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula.
The author's main interest is centred on recovering, documenting,
and analyzing the greatest number of female representations in the
Levantine panels. The aim was to explain them in relation to the
social practices in which they were involved, based on the
activities represented. (The surviving representations produced in
this artistic style were declared an element of World Heritage by
UNESCO in 1998.)
