This volume contains papers from a session of the 2006 uispp
congress in Lisbon. The contributors ask what we can learn from
prehistoric art about cultural change, and what art can convey the
ideological and cognitive sphere of prehistoric societies. Essays
cover a variety of art forms (rock art, jewellery, lithics,
ceramics etc) in mostly European contexts, although including
material on the Near East, Egypt and Africa.
This volume presents the proceedings of the session 'Intellectual
and Spiritual Expression of Non-literate Peoples' part of the XVII
World UISPP Congress, held in Burgos (Spain), the 4th September
2014. The session brought together experts from various disciplines
to share experience and scientific approaches for a better
understanding of human creativity and behaviour in prehistory.
This volume is a basic introduction to rock art studies. It marks
the starting point of the new methodology for rock art analysis,
based on typology and style, first developed by the author at the
Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici. This book demonstrates the
beginnings of a new discipline, the systematic study of world rock
art. This edition is a revised and updated version of Anarti’s
classic text, first published in English in 1993. Additions have
been made and a major new category of rock art has been included.
