The Uses of Stylistic Analysis in Rock Art Studies

Author(s): Livio Dobrez; Patricia Dobrez

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Role of Rock Art in Cultural Understanding: A Symposium in Honor of Polly Schaafsma" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Polly Schaafsma has made a major contribution to rock art studies with her detailed analysis of rock art styles in the American Southwest. The joint authors wish to investigate the concept of style, with its roots in art history and application in archaeology and anthropology. In so doing, we consider the general nature of stylistic taxonomies worldwide and the theoretical issues raised by such taxonomies, all of this with an eye to Schaafsma’s own treatment of style in a number of her works.
