The Prehistoric Rock Art of the Lake Victoria Region
A gazetteer of rock art sites in the Lake Victoria basin is followed by discussion on the relationship between the different kinds of art both within and outside the area, their interpretation and the evidence they provide of the identity and practices of the artists. The gazetteer includes a selection of previously published sites; the hitherto unpublished material derives mainly from the Bukoba and Mwanza areas and the Lolui Islands. That from …
