Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Current rock art research is interdisciplinary, drawing methods from various fields and knowledge from multiple lines of evidence. These approaches augment and enhance rock art documentation, offer new strategies for effective site management, and facilitate new interpretive insights for rock art provinces around the world. This Rock Art Interest Group–sponsored session provides a forum to share recent rock art research from a wide range of topics that help us to better understand and contextualize rock art, including geochemical analyses, iconographic comparisons, photogrammetric and imaging techniques, Indigenous knowledge, spatial analysis, and radiocarbon dating. The presentations in this symposium discuss rock art in California, Hawaii, Texas, the American Southwest, the Great Plains, the Eastern Woodlands, Mexico, Israel, and Siberia.
