Why publish a Reader? Today, it is relatively easy and convenient to switch on your computer and download an academic paper. However, as many scholars have experienced, historic references are difficult to access. Moreover, some are now lost and are merely references in later papers. This can be frustrating. This book provides a series of papers from all over the world that extend as far back as the 1970s when rock art research was in its infancy. The papers presented in the Reader reflect the development in the various approaches that have influenced advancing scholarly research.

Bradshaw Foundation Editor's note:
The paradigms highlighted in this collection of carefully chosen papers represent many of the essential emerging fields in rock art around the world. Indeed, the publication charts the progress of the study of rock art firstly as a science and secondly as an essential element of archaeology. As Carolyn Boyd puts it, rock art study has in the past been considered 'a stepchild of archaeology'. Today, the archaeological community has recognized the insights that rock art studies can provide into a region's prehistory. This publication should be the first of many.

The papers include:
Seeing and Construing: The Making and 'Meaning' of a Southern African Rock Art Motif by J.D. Lewis-Williams

The power of a place in understanding southern San rock engravings by Janette Deacon

Unsettled times: shaded polychromes and the making of hunter-gatherer history in the southeastern mountains of southern Africa by Aron D. Mazel

Caves as Landscapes by Jean Clottes

Shamanism, Natural Modeling and the Rock Art Hunter-Gatherers by David S. Whitley
