This course introduces the foundation and development of how we understand and perceive rock art. All of which will include an in-depth review of some of the cutting edge methods and technological advancements of digital rock art recording. We discuss how each development impacts the environment and archaeology as a whole, and twin the lectures with a hands-on class and field exercises in rock art documentation and condition assessment.

The class features world-renowned rock art scholars and professional photographers, while also spotlighting certain specialized methods and techniques.

Hosted by Dr. Alan Garfinkel, noted authority on rock art documentation and Coso Range archaeology.
