Rock Art in the Landscapes of Motion: Proceedings of a session of the 20th International Rock Art Congress IFRAO 2018 in Valcamonica, Italy

Rock art across continents and millennia reveals profound connections to movement, motion, and mobility. This volume synthesizes findings from the 20th International Rock Art Congress (IFRAO 2018), demonstrating how rock art reflects dynamic interactions between humans and their landscapes. Spanning the European Palaeolithic to South America's Colonial Period, the studies employ diverse methodologies—ranging from chronological analysis to spatial mapping—to uncover how mobility shapes artistic expression and cultural practices. The collection highlights that motion is not merely a theme in rock art but an intrinsic element of its creation, preservation, and interpretation, offering new perspectives on the significance of movement in human history.
