There are no books available on shamanism from an archaeological perspective. All books tend to focus on Rock Art, this has some examples but broadens the study and does not emphasise rock art.

The existence of a shamanic world view is fiercely debated in archaeology at the moment.

Shamanism attracts a wide readership amongst academics and general interest readers. Most academic researchers have so far had anthropological backgrounds.

This covers subjects and eras as broad as Palaeolithic rock art to the religion of the Vikings.

Interdisciplinary: anthropology, comparative religion, alternative religion, alternative lifestyles, new age philosophies and of course archaeology are all touched upon in this fascinating study of shamanism.
