Abstract

Paul G. Bahn provides a richly illustrated overview of prehistoric rock art and cave art from around the world. Summarizing the recent advances in our understanding of this extraordinary visual record, he discusses new discoveries, new approaches to recording and interpretation, and current problems in conservation. Bahn focuses in particular on current issues in the interpretation of rock art, notably the 'shamanic' interpretation that has been influential in recent years and that he refutes. This book is based on the Rhind Lectures that the author delivered for the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 2006.

Abstract

Norbert Aujoulat est responsable du département d’art pariétal au Centre National de la préhistoire à Périgueux (ministère de la Culture et de la Communication/ sous-direction de l’Archéologie). L’analyse descriptive d’une peinture ou d’une gravure préhistorique reposant en partie sur sa reproduction, le transfert de l’image implique donc une méthodologie spécifique et un matériel parfaitement adapté. Ce travail est à la fois une synthèse des travaux antérieurs relatifs aux techniques de relevé et le résultat de plusieurs années de recherches personnelles concernant en particulier l’enregistrement photographique des données et leur traitement en laboratoire par ordinateur. Conçu dans un esprit très didactique, il se présente comme un véritable manuel, indispensable à toute recherche dans le domaine de l’art pariétal. Norbert Aujoulat is head of the cave art section at the National Prehistory Centre in Perigueux (Ministry of Culture and Communication/Department of Archaeology). The descriptive analysis of a prehistoric painting or engraving depends, to a great extent, on its reproduction, which, in its turn, depends on a specific methodology and appropriate material. This book is a synthesis of earlier work dealing with reproduction techniques and is also the result of several years of personal research into the photographic recording of data and their Processing by computer in the laboratory. Highly didactic, it is intended as a practical manual, indispensable for any research in the field of cave art.
