Deep-Time Images in the Age of Globalization
This open access volume offers groundbreaking approach to rock art research and explores the impact of globalization on contemporary study of deep-time art

Slow Science But Fast Forward
There is no doubt that the past decades have brought exciting and novel understandings about geographic distributions, chronologies and analytical methods to the studies of rock art. Even from the lurch into the twenty-first century, this has been a fast forward: increasing confirmations of early image-making in Australia and other places; successful application of a new dating method to reveal previously unimagined figurative images in very deep…

Homes for Hunters? Exploring the Concept of Home at Hunter-Gatherer Sites in Upper Paleolithic Europe and Epipaleolithic Southwest Asia
In both Southwest Asia and Europe, only a handful of known Upper Paleolithic and Epipaleolithic sites attest to aggregation or gatherings of hunter-gatherer groups, sometimes including evidence of hut structures and highly structured use of space. Interpretation of these structures ranges greatly, from mere ephemeral shelters to places "built" into a landscape with meanings beyond refuge from the elements. One might argue that this ambiguity stem…

Interpretative Frameworks and the Study of the Rock Arts
This chapter explores issues regarding the interpretation of rock art. The chapter considers what interpretation is about, how we define and identify it, and what various ways rock art researchers have engaged with interpretation. Here we mention how they have drawn on concepts of style, structuralism, or shamanism as well as on formal and/or informed methods. There is consideration of the uses of analogy and the direct historical method. Overall…

Le site de plein air de Peyre Blanque (Fabas, Ariège)
Découvert dans le cadre d’une prospection thématique sur les sites de plein air, le gisement de Peyre Blanque est un des rares exemples d’occupation à l’air libre du Magdalénien dans les Pyrénées. Nonobstant sa localisation au sommet d’une crête, le site apparaît remarquablement bien conservé, à l’exception toutefois des vestiges organiques en raison de l’acidité du sol. Estimé à plusieurs centaines de mètres carrés, le gisement a livré une indus…

Uranium-series dating of carbonate formations overlying Paleolithic art
The Uranium-Thorium (U/ Th) series dating method, developed 50 years ago, has proven its usefulness and reliability for the dating of marine (corals) and continental (speleothems) secondary carbonates deposits. Recently, improvements of the analytical techniques (TIMS – Thermo-Ionization Mass Spectrometry, and then MC-ICPMS – Multicollector-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy and laser ablation) allow the dating of very small samples and…

Images without Words
How can a body of visual images without any accompanying texts or words possibly be understood? In addressing some of the issues in the interpretation and understandings of the ‘art’ of Ice Age or Paleolithic Europe, we face a conundrum different from other corpuses of visual imagery. In a non-literate, mobile hunting—gathering society such as it was some 20,000 years ago, the images may have had more, not less, cultural significance even if the …
One Thing Leads to Another
The Identification of Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherer Aggregation Sites
It is a common assumption that an aggregation-and-dispersion pattern characterizes most of the world's hunter-gatherers, both past and present. A clarification of the pattern is put forth in support of the view that there is more to it than factors of subsistence ecology. Because there are many variants of hunter-gatherer aggregations, in terms of both activities and the factors that promote and effect them, it is clear that there will also be va…
Programme to Practice
In the past decade, archaeologists have given considerable attention to research on gender in the human past. In this review, we attempt to acknowledge much of this diverse and abundant work from an explicitly feminist perspective. We focus on reviewing a selection of approaches to gender that are anchored to specific theoretical standpoints. In addition, we highlight several approaches that challenge an archaeology of gender that does not explic…

Symbolism and the Cultural Landscape
The cultural landscape is created and transformed by human symbolic action. Environmental symbolism is one means whereby social identity and reality are created. Symbolization must be viewed as a social process. Furthermore, symbolization is shown to be a significant response to cultural stress. The general process of stress-induced symbolism can be understood in terms of accepted principles of evolutionary ecology, and from these, a continuum mo…

A Spanish Resistance? Social Archaeology and the Study of Paleolithic Art in Spain
This essay is a brief inquiry into the ways in which a "social archaeology" from the Anglo-American traditions of archaeology has or has not influenced or been used in studies of Spanish Paleolithic art. The article traces the outlines of what "social archaeology" is, from its historical roots in the New Archaeology, and it also briefly considers how Paleolithic art, in general, has been interpreted. It then reviews some of the relevant Spanish l…

New Approaches in the Search for Meaning? A Review of Research in “Paleolithic Art“
This review article summarizes some of the major research on “paleolithic art” since 1979, with the explicit intent of evaluating how this research has contributed to the search for the meaning of paleolithic art. The article reviews recent major publications and argues that the emphasis on the diversity of the materials and on their contexts is changing the scope and interpretive possibilities for the study of “paleolithic art.” Particular atten…

The structural analysis of Paleolithic art
Introduction This chapter is about the application of structuralist ideas to the study of a particular archaeological phenomenon that we have labeled “Paleolithic art.” It is ambitious to take on structuralism in general in a single chapter. Although some general background on structuralism is presented, I will focus on structuralist approaches in Paleolithic art, particularly that of Leroi-Gourhan (e.g. 1965, 1972), who elucidated what he believ…

Good Science, Bad Science, or Science as Usual?
A few years ago I attended a small rock art conference in South Africa, which focused almost exclusively on the rich and complex rock art repertoire of that country. One evening, we took our boxes of wine back to the conference room to watch videos, including a recently released video about Lascaux—the famous painted Ice Age cave in southwestern France—a video that had been made as part of the commemoration of the 50 years' celebration of Lascaux…
