Abstract
- The book "Making Scenes: Global Perspectives on Scenes in Rock Art" edited by Iain Davidson and April Nowell provides a comprehensive exploration of rock and cave art from around the world. The book focuses on the challenges of identifying scenes in Paleolithic rock and cave art, as well as in later prehistoric and historic periods. While the book does not delve into methods or dating in detail, it emphasizes the importance of understanding scenes as expressions of narratives and storytelling. The authors acknowledge that the original meaning of these scenes may be beyond our grasp, but highlight the significance of rock art as a worlding practice. [Extracted from the article]
