7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Intro to Rock Art ResearchBy DiwiyanaThis is a good basic text on the subject of researching rock art. It includes 10 chapters. giving a concise introduction. describing the nature of fieldwork. classification. dating methods. scientific analysis. as well as types of interpretations. These include symbolic and ethnographic interpretation. as well as the recently popular neuropsychological theory. Other chapters focus on conservation and the relationships among archeology. anthropology. and rock art. An appendix includes recording forms for fieldworkers. Readers who want something mystical and magical will not find it here. Serious students of rock art will find an excellent introduction to the field.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful BookBy DesertGalThis book is a very good introduction to Rock Art Research and should be read by everyone interested in Rock Art Research. I wish it was around when I started out.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. rock art researchBy Bruce Ostlerim not a student or a professional rock art researcher. but i do have a keen interest in rock art. that said. i just finished reading rock art research. cover to cover. and found it a remarkably comprehensive book about how reseach is conducted. how theories are put forward. investigated. and rigorously challenged. this guy whitley has a remarkable mind and is able to lay out theories in clear fashion which come alive. as fine a writer as whitley is - and i believe him to be one of the best writers on rock art that i have read - i did find my mind wandering a bit in chapter 8 OTHER FORMAL APPROACHES - but i dont know if it was me being a little impatient or his writing. or if it was the theories discussed in that chapter that are not as interesting...by the time id finished the book. i was wondering WHY he so rarely references shaafsma - because ive always found her to be quite insightful and interesting... i know her book on shields does not embrace shamanism. and im sure that there is somekind of philosophical difference between them. but he should have highlighted what those differences are and not simply ignore it/her. THAT would be an interesting intellectual challenge.i await with great anticipation his newest book.
