Pictures from the Bronze Age are numerous, vivid and complex. Fourteen papers, with a geographical coverage from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, examine a wide range of topics reflecting the many forms and expressions of Bronze Age imagery encompassing important themes including religion, materiality, mobility, interaction, power and gender.The contributors explore specific elements of rock art in some detail such as the representation of the human form; images of manslaughter; and gender identities.
