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 ;27PetroglyphsVisual 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.)AntiquitiesPetroglyphs.Visual communication in art.Rock paintingsPetroglyphsVisual communication in artArt, Aboriginal AustralianAboriginal AustraliansAntiquities.709.011309944McDonald Jo(Josephine),801554UkMaJRUBOOK9910563076603321Dreamtime superhighway2836121UNINA
