This volume is the first summary and synthesis of the rock art of the American High Plains; from Archaic times to the historic period. Even more; it presents an engaging combination of Plains archaeology; rock art sites; and holistic archaeological research. This refreshing approach to rock art studies reminds us that archaeologists glean information from the whole site and everything that may have occurred there; rather than simply focusing on the images on stone. Clues to understanding rock art can be found in other images; in associated artifacts; and in ethnographic analogy. Archaeologists are shown how rock art integrates with other materials available for study. With each page; the reader will be engaged in a compelling; and comprehensive story that focuses equally on the art and the archaeology of the prehistoric plains.
