Notes: “The primary objectives of this book are to (1) demonstrate that prehistoric art can be explained using scientific methods; (2) synthesize scientifically generated rock art interpretations to address issues regarding hunter-gatherer belief systems and lifeways of the lower Pecos Archaic; (3) establish that rock art production was a mechanism for social and environmental adaptation; and (4) show that not only the artist but also the art itself served as an active agent in the social, economic, and ideological affairs of the community.” (From Chapter One) She has an interesting theory here about rock art as delineating hunting territories.
