Course Objectives
Course Content
This course will consider rock art studies in several geographic regions of the world, in order to present the extent of rock art sites and rock art heritage from a global point of view. The approach will be broadly comparative, exploring the character of regional traditions, the role of different ecologies (cave art vs. open-air art) and social structures in shaping the character of rock art traditions. Regions from which case studies are drawn will include: Europe (Palaeolithic and Post-Paleolithic), Africa (Saharan and Sub-Saharan), Australia/Oceania, The Middle East and Anatolia, Asia, north and South America.
