Rock Art: Methodology and Interpretation in the Archaeology of the Site

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)

In the pursuit of innovative instrumental technique, enhanced interpretive insight, and successful approaches to preservation, this Rock Art Interest Group sponsored symposium is intended to provide a context within which recent archaeologically informed rock art research can be shared.
