Rock Art Research and Knowledge-Production in the Context of Globalizations. A Comparative Approach to the Cases of Patagonia-Argentina and Eastern Canada
In this chapter, we discuss the impacts different globalizations (in plural) have had on the development of rock art research in Argentina and Canada over time. In particular, we focus on: (1) the initial or pioneer views on deep-time rock art in Eastern Canada and Patagonia (those of voyagers, explorers, militaries, and missionaries); (2) the development of archaeologies of art in the strict academic sense of the term (e.g. culture-history and s…
The Rough Tor Effect
A ceremonial monument cannot function without those people who carry knowledge of its metaphysics and practice, and it cannot continue into the future without instruction in its meaning. In this paper, we attempt to recover the meaning of Neolithic tradition as enacted on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall where prominent hills can be viewed at a great distance. It has long been recognised that hundreds of prehistoric monuments in Cornwall in some way 'pay …
Stone circles and the Pole Star on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall
An exploration of the possibility of Neolithic excarnation on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
Locations of Cornish cairns in relation to the Rough Tor Effect
Hundreds of round cairns and barrows survive on the granite uplands of Bodmin Moor, with hundreds more beyond the Moor, including along the Cornish coast. We posit that their distribution is far from random, or related merely to the territories of Late Neolithic and early Bronze Age people, especially as many Cornish cairns and barrows do not contain burials. Most of those in east Cornwall enjoy a direct sightline to Rough Tor, and Stowe's Hill i…
Kwipek, Mi’kma’ki
In Scandinavian Early Bronze Age rock art (c. 1700–500 BC) anthropomorphic figures largely consist of simple stick figures that only occasionally relate to other motifs. Although they do not seem to ‘do’ much, their composition is often more complex than what first meets the eye. For instance, a significant portion of the anthropomorphs lacks one or more body parts and seem to have been deliberately made anonymous. It is argued that this fragment…
Pleistocene art at the beginnings of the twenty-first century
Exploring Relationality
Representation and meaning in rock art
Over the past decade, discussions on ontology, animism and semiotics have generated numerous avenues of research on the meanings of rock images. In a context marked by the increasing recognition of Indigenous knowledges, a number of archaeologists have questioned representationalism and the idea that rock art has a fixed meaning in the past. In this paper, we discuss these new approaches with reference to the rock art of the Algonquian-speaking p…
Landscapes of Stone
Between 2004 and 2011 Graham Hill and Dave Edwards plotted nearly eight thousand prehistoric artefacts from ploughed fields across the Clodgy Moor area of West Penwith. In 2011 a project was carried out by the Historic Environment Service Projects team, Cornwall Council, the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the Cornwall Archaeological Society to catalogue and digitize all the finds recorded from the fieldwalking.The project demonstrated that some …
