A four year research project into Bronze Age rock art, conducted jointly by the archaeology department at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and the Laboratory of Heritage of the Spanish
National Research Council, culminated in a 2006 conference held in Sweden, and nine papers delivered there are presented here. They consider relationships between settlements, rock art, and sea
levels in the Himmelstalund region of eastern Sweden; a new chronological proposal for Atlantic rock art based on rock art and archaeological excavations in Campo Lameiro, Galicia; maritime
images and situations in elevated rock art; a comparative study of a rock-picture theme in Galicia and Bohusl瓣n; knees in rock art and Indo-European symbolism as an example of bodily attributes
and semantic expressions; the sun journey in Indo-European mythology and Bronze Age rock art; some results from the Tanum Rock Art Project 1997-2004; the archaeology of glance; and the spaces
of representation and the domestication of landscape in rock art societies. There is no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc.,
