- More about Art in the Making
The study of deep-time images has been transformed by new technological advances, including the inclusion of new corpora of images, the shift from a contemplative model to a construction model, the transition from a Eurocentric model to a worldwide paradigm, and the increasing incorporation of Holocene and Indigenous arts into general discussions about 'prehistoric arts'. This text appeals to students and researchers in the field.

This special issue publication of the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, dedicated to Pleistocene and Holocene arts, explores a range of recent developments in the study of deep-time images. The contributions argue that in a context characterized by new technological advances, the study of what was traditionally known as 'prehistoric art' has undergone a transformative shift into a dynamic field of research marked by four fundamental interrelated processes:
(A) The inclusion of new corpora of images beyond traditional conceptualizations of 'prehistoric art.'
(B) The shift from a 'contemplative model' (which treated images and artifacts as 'already made art) to a 'construction model' that emphasizes the processes involved in the making of artwork.
(C) The transition from a Eurocentric model to a worldwide paradigm, recognizing the diverse artistic traditions across different regions and cultures.
(D) The increasing incorporation of Holocene and Indigenous arts into general discussions about 'prehistoric arts.'
This text holds appeal to students and researchers in the field.
