It examines a panoply of graphic evidence found on stone surfaces, supplying an unprecedented view of the long-term development of culture and religion on a large swathe of the Tibetan Plateau. The pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (rock carvings), host sites, and descriptions and analyses presented are the direct result of intensive fieldwork conducted by the author in Upper Tibet between 1995 and 2016. Information on rock art production techniques, subject identification, thematic class, mode of presentation, physical condition, estimated age, and relative location are supplied for each piece of rock art. In addition to the datasets, the book offers rock art site descriptions and assesses the cultural, religious and artistic development of these locations.</p> 606 $aSocial Science / Archaeology$2bisacsh 606 $aArt / History / Prehistoric$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Anthropology / Physical$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 610 00$aLater Prehistory$aIron Age$aEurasia$aTibetan Archaeology$aCultural History$aTibet$aLate Bronze Age$aRock Art$aHeritage 615 7$aSocial Science / Archaeology 615 7$aArt / History / Prehistoric 615 7$aSocial Science / Anthropology / Physical 615 0$aSocial sciences 700 $aBellezza$b John Vincent$0703230 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 912 $a9910854199103321 996 $aA Comprehensive Survey of Rock Art in Upper Tibet$94210190 997 $aUNINA
