This volume brings together archaeologists and anthropologists to present an investigation into the idea of landscape, something of common importance to both disciplines but conceptualized in often quite different ways. As well as archaeological and anthropological case studies, showcasing the different approaches there are purely philosophical papers as well as a section on archaeoastronomy.

Ten essays on the museology and museography of rock art. The contributors investigate models for "appropriate ways of documenting and presenting rock art within a museum, for inciting aesthetic, technical, ecological, cultural and tourist interest of visitors, and for fulfilling convergent objectives of conservation, education, research or appreciation." Essays in English with three in French and two in Spanish.

Ten essays from a session of the 15th UISPP Congress (2006), which demonstrate the importance of the cognitive-processual approach pioneered by Colin Renfrew in studying prehistoric iconography. Topics include the location and orientation of passage tombs in Ireland, the symbolic use of celestial bodies in Bronze Age Hungary, ship images in rock art, female statues in Romania, symbolism in the East European Chalcolothic, rock art in France, and metal deposits in the Alps. There are also three purely theoretical papers.

These papers arose from a workshop at the 15th uispp congress which aimed to provide an opportunity for researchers from a number of institutions to compare ideas and to seek to develop a standardised system for recording rock art, or a family of interconnecting systems, based on information technology. The papers present various cataloguing systems, and explore issues of conservation, accessibility, and of intellectual rights.
