By combining excavation results with rock art analysis it demonstrates that a true archaeology of rock art can provide insights into rock art image-making in people’s social and cultural lives. Based on a PhD dissertation, this monograph is a significantly revised and updated study which draws forcefully on rich and new data from extensive recent research—much of it by McDonald herself. McDonald has developed a model that suggests that visual culture—such as rock artmaking and its images and forms—could be understood as a system of communication, as a way of signaling group identifying behaviour. For the archaeologist of art, the anthropologist of art and those of us who try to think about past worlds… this monograph is a must read.Terra Australis ;27Rock paintings--New South Wales--Sydney BasinPetroglyphsVisual communication in artRock paintingsAustraliaSydney Basin (N.S.W.)PetroglyphsAustraliaSydney Basin (N.S.W.)Visual communication in artAustraliaSydney Basin (N.S.W.)Art, Aboriginal AustralianAustraliaSydney Basin (N.S.W.)Aboriginal AustraliansAustraliaSydney Basin (N.S.W.)AntiquitiesArchaeologybicsscAboriginal AustraliansAntiquitiesfast(OCoLC)fst00794500Antiquitiesfast(OCoLC)fst00810745Art, Aboriginal Australianfast(OCoLC)fst00815847Petroglyphsfast(OCoLC)fst01059252Rock paintingsfast(OCoLC)fst01099256Visual communication in artfast(OCoLC)fst01168010Electronic books.Rock paintings--New South Wales--Sydney Basin.Petroglyphs.Visual communication in art.Rock paintingsPetroglyphsVisual communication in artArt, Aboriginal AustralianAboriginal AustraliansAntiquities.ArchaeologyAboriginal AustraliansAntiquities.Antiquities.Art, Aboriginal Australian.Petroglyphs.Rock paintings.Visual communication in art.709.011309944McDonald Jo801554UkMaJRU9910141820703321Dreamtime superhighway2278279UNINA
