| description | Rock art is found across the globe and has been used, with varying levels of success, as evidence of cultural connections between different communities. In this paper, we discuss some of the methods used to analyse rock art and cultural connectivity, drawing on examples from three regions: Northern Europe, the Eurasian Steppe, and East Asia. We present ideas for how existing methods for this type of analysis could be reworked, specifically discussing multi-media comparison within archaeological contexts. |
