Course Content
This course will introduce some of the major issues in the study of rock art: the role of art historical and anthropological theories in the interpretation of rock art, questions of dating and chronology, and the use of informed ethnographic approaches among others. Students will be familiar with the range of processes which shape the surviving heritage of rock art, and explore issues of the management of rock art sites, ranging from recording, conservation and display in exhibition and museums to issues of the use of rock art sites by contemporary indigenous peoples.
