Prehistoric Art and Ideology - Session C27 (Paperback)

This volume contains papers from a session of the 2006 uispp congress in Lisbon. The contributors ask what we can learn from prehistoric art about cultural change, and what art can convey the ideological and cognitive sphere of prehistoric societies. Essays cover a variety of art forms (rock art, jewellery, lithics, ceramics etc) in mostly European contexts, although including material on the Near East, Egypt and Africa.
