Carving a Future for British Rock Art: New Directions for Research, Management and Presentation

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20085 ratings)

Description:Over the last few years, the ways in which we perceive and document rock art have shifted irreversibly. Prehistoric rock art played little part in the development of British and Irish archaeology and was not recognized until the 19th century, when its equivalents in Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula were already well known. Previously considered a fringe activity and the work of amateur archaeologists, over the last 30 years the situation has improved considerably, and the appearance of books such as this signify the change. This volume makes a powerful case for an archaeology that integrates rock art into a wider vision of the past. It brings together the experiences and informed opinions of the key organizations and stake holders responsible for the conservation, management and accessibility of British rock art. An ongoing and exciting period of change is documented here and the main issues that underpin the survival of our prehistoric carved heritage are addressed. Grouped into three sections, the chapters cover the recording, management and presentation of British rock art. The contributions illustrate the wide range of perceptions and approaches to the study, and the diversity of individuals and institutions who have become drawn into this fascinating subject, with independent researchers, heritage managers, artists and academics each bringing a unique perspective. This book aims to both inform new directions in rock art management strategies and provoke further initiatives through which these strategies can be implemented.Table of ContentsForeword ( Richard Bradley and Stan Beckensall )Introduction ( Tertia Barnett and Kate Sharpe )Part Capturing the Techniques and PerspectivesThree dimensional rock art a ‘lower-cost’ photogrammetric approach ( Paul Bryan )Encryption and Recording new images on the Calderstones in Liverpool ( George Nash and Adam Stamford )Putting people in the Community involvement in rock art recording ( Tertia Barnett )Moving interpreting the Copt Howe petroglyphs ( Kate Sharpe and Aaron Watson )The Rock Art Recording Project in Northumberland and some observations on the landscape context and ‘taphonomy’ of rock art, and recommendations for future projects ( Alistair Oswald and Stewart Ainsworth )The role of the amateur in the study of UK prehistoric cup-and-ring rock art ( Keith Boughey )Part 2: Managing the Strategies for Research and ConservationShaping up rock art in past progress, future directions ( Sally Foster )Fylingdales fire archaeological revelations ( Graham Lee )Prehistoric carved rocks on the MOD Defence Training managing protection ( Phil Abramson )Between a rock and a hard place?
