A companion to The Archaeology of Rock-Art (Cambridge 1998), this new collection edited by C. Chippindale and G. Nash addresses the most important component around the rock-art panel - its landscape. The Figured Landscapes of Rock-Art draws together the work of many well-known scholars from key regions of the world for rock-art and for rock-art research. It provides a unique, broad and varied insight into the arrangement, location, and structure of rock-art and its place within the landscapes of ancient worlds as ancient people experienced them. Packed with illustrations, as befits a book about images, this book offers a visual as well as a literary key to the understanding of this most lovely and alluring of archaeological traces.
