The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal provides interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art, showcasing its richness, chronology, and context.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents a wealth of interpretive perspectives in the field of Portuguese rock art research, serving as an excellent representation of core rock art areas and current thinking and interpretations. The book's diverse chapters offer a personal approach to the many issues, themes, and approaches embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. While ethnographical perspectives have historically dominated the study of rock art, the western Iberian Peninsula lacks an ethnographic or ethno-historical past, making it archaeologically essential to assess the production of rock art. Consequently, this work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art, showcasing the richness, chronology, and context of these unique artistic expressions. It also explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced.

While primarily focusing on Portuguese rock art, the book incorporates a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars engaged in archaeology, anthropology, history of art, as well as professionals involved in rock art heritage and conservation. The chapters in this book provide valuable insights into the study of rock art, contributing to our understanding of this fascinating artistic tradition and its cultural significance.
