Indian Rock Art of the Southwest [SOLD]

This comprehensive study of carvings and paintings on stone by Native Americans surveys the rock art of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, northern Mexico, and West Texas from 2,000 B.C. to the nineteenth century.

"The real strength of this volume is twofold: careful definition of regional rock art styles, and reasonable interpretation of their possible functions within the Native American cultures that created them. . . . Indian Rock Art of the Southwest is a superlative study of this neglected component of the archaeological record. This book pushes rock art beyond speculation and description and into anthropology. "

"A major strength of Schaafsma's book is its focus on rock art in cultural context. . . . The volume is logically constructed, well written, and beautifully illustrated with nearly 300 plates and figures. . . . an imaginative and interesting piece of work. It is the best extant study of Southwestern rock art, and I recommend it to all interested in the area or the art form. "
