Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
There has been a long-running debate over the function of rock art. The authors provide a definition of prehistoric Southwest Native American religion relating to cyclical time and the cosmos and show how certain aspects of rock art in the American Southwest operate within a greater Mesoamerican ideological and religious worldview.
