Condition remarks:
Paperback - VG - 68 volumes spanning from May 1990 to May 2024. Missing: Vol 30 No. 1, Vol 40 No.1 & Vol 41 No.2.
This near-complete run of *Rock Art Research*, the biannual journal of the Australian Rock Art Research Association and the International Federation of Rock Art Organisations, spans thirty-five volume-years of scholarship in archaeology, anthropology, and art history. Each issue presents peer-reviewed papers that establish rigorous theory and methodology for the study of palaeoart, chronicling petroglyphs and pictographs from Australia, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific. Contributors argue for scientific dating techniques, detail conservation strategies for endangered rock art sites, and uncover new interpretive frameworks for humanity's earliest visual expression. The set illustrates the discipline's evolution from 1990 through the early 2020s, documenting debates over authentication, chronology, and cross-cultural comparison among the world's foremost rock art scholars. Edited throughout by founding editor Robert G. Bednarik, the journal instructs readers in the hard-science approach that distinguishes it from purely descriptive rock art literature. A scholarly collection of this depth rarely surfaces complete, making it a strong acquisition for any serious archaeology or anthropology library.
