Use of Various 2D to 3D Techniques for Documenting and Unveiling the Information From European Medieval and Renaissance Tombstones and Native American Rock Art
This paper examines and compares methods of digital recording and analysis of fragmentarily preserved reliefs from Gothic and Renaissance tombstones at the Cistercian abbey in Mogiła, a district within the city of Kraków, southern Poland. The aim is to provide accurate documentation and examination of these reliefs through the use of various high‐resolution digital photography and terrestrial laser scanning techniques, followed by analysis in ded…
Ancestral Pueblo and Historic Ute Rock Art, and Euro-American Inscriptions in the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Colorado, USA
In the central Mesa Verde region, rock art occurs on canyon walls and on boulders that are frequently associated with other archaeological remains. Moreover, rock art, together with architecture and pottery, is actually a primary source of archaeological information about the presence of various cultures in the area. It includes paintings and petroglyphs of Ancestral Pueblo farming communities, images and inscriptions made by post-contact Ute and…
Mountains, Shrines, and Rock Art
Since 2011, the Sand Canyon–Castle Rock Community Archaeological Project has been conducted in several canyons of the central Mesa Verde region, southwestern Colorado in the North American Southwest. One of the project’s aims is to reconstruct the relationships between Ancestral Pueblo culture settlements and rock art vs. environment and surrounding landscape. All these elements were related to the beliefs and rituals of Pueblo societies in the t…

Shamanism among the indigenous cultures of North America
Certain forms of shamanism existed in many communities worldwide, including some of the indigenous cultures and tribes of North America, from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico and the desert areas of the Southwest, California, and northern Mexico. At least several American Indian and Inuit societies are known to have practised shamanism in bothpre-Columbian and other historical periods (even until very recent times). We can conclude this on the ba…
Inventory and digital documentation for uncovering the hidden secrets of pre-Hispanic heritage sites – An example of Ancestral Pueblo community from the Mesa Verde region, southwestern Colorado, USA
Digital documentation and analysis of Native American rock art and Euro-American historical inscriptions from the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Colorado
Detailed photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning of rock art, geophysics research and sondage excavations conducted at the Painted Hand Petroglyph Panel, a large rock art site in south-western Colorado, USA, has revealed new information about the cultural situation in the pre-Columbian and historic North American Southwest
Art in the Pre-Hispanic Southwest
In Art in the Pre-Hispanic Southwest: An Archaeology of Native American Cultures, Radosław Palonka reconstructs the development of pre-Hispanic Native American cultures and tribes in the American Southwest and Mexican Northwest. Palonka also examines the wider context through the lenses of settlement studies and social transformation, while paying close attention to the material manifestations of pre-Hispanic beliefs, including intricately decora…
Ancestral Pueblo settlement structure and sacred landscape at Castle Rock Community, Colorado
Rock Art from the Lower Sand Canyon in the Mesa Verde Region, Southwestern Colorado, USA
The paper presents the results of the research and initial analysis of the rock art from the Castle Rock Community, a cluster of Ancestral Pueblo sites, dated to the thirteenth century A.D. and located in southwestern Colorado, in the heart of the Mesa Verde region. The rock art in the area is represented by anthropomorphic figures (shamans or warriors) from the Basketmaker II period, but most of the rock art is from the Pueblo III period (1150-1…
Research on the Pueblo culture settlement system from the North American Southwest - results of the Sand Canyon-Castle Rock Community Archaeological Project
investigating ancient Pueblo culture from the North American Southwest is challenging task involving cooperation of scientists from different disciplines, mainly archaeology, history, anthropology, and linguistics. There is also a large body of information in native oral tradition that has enormous potential for enriching our knowledge of the past and our understanding of how Pueblo societies functioned. the paper focuses on one of the most intri…
