Transforming the Landscape - Rock Art and the Mississippian CosmosPaperback
Over the past 25 years, major rock art research has been performed in the North American eastern woodlands - in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and parts of Georgia and North Carolina. This constitutes a major component of pre-contact petroglyphs and pictographs - and a fascinating one at that. Because of the enormity of the eastern landscape and the growing number of rock art sites, the editors of Transforming the Landscape decided to focus in on the topic of cultural landscapes and cosmology - that is, the graphic reflection of beliefs about the cosmos within rock art imagery and how this art is located across a region since, unlike portable cultural material, rock art provides in situ evidence of ritual activity that links ideology and place.
In this beautifully illustrated volume leading rock art specialists cover a wide range of methodologies regarding
