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.
