Representations and Communications Summary

Representations and Communications: Creating an Archaeological Matrix of Late Prehistoric Rock Art by Asa C. Fredell

In this volume, which is the outcome of the four-year long collaboration project SARA (Scandinavian and Atlantic Rock Art) between the archaeology department at University of Gothenburg and the Laboratory of Heritage of Spanish National Research Council, nine papers summarize new excavation and survey results, advanced studies of iconography and intriguing landscape studies. It addresses topics such as human activities in the vicinity and surroundings of rock-art panels, movement and communication, ritual and symbolism, and finally representations and constructions of landscapes. The book is a sophisticated study of the rock art of two major regions of prehistoric Europe, but one with implications for research over a much wider area. It is wide-ranging, topical and will no doubt also be controversial. Contributors include Per Nilsson, Manuel Santos Estevez, Yolanda Seoane Veiga, Johan Ling, Asa C. Fredell, Marco Garcia Quintela, Kristian Kristiansen, Lasse Bengtsson and Felipe Criado Boado.

Representations and Communications Reviews

'an interesting and stimulating book for any researcher working on rock art in general and Bronze Age Europe in particular. After all, it is a vivid expression of the plurality of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that exist and are being applied to gain knowledge about past societies using their rock art as a point of departure.' -- European Journal of Archaeology European Journal of Archaeology
