Barbaric splendour : the use of image before and after Rome /
:
This text comprises a collection of essays comparing late Iron Age and Early Medieval art. Fundamentally, the work asks what making images meant on the fringe of the expanding or contracting Roman empire, particularly as the art from both periods drew heavily from - but radically transformed - imperial imagery.

Prehistoric art as prehistoric culture : studies in honour of Professor Rodrigo de Balbín-Behrmann /
:
Professor Rodrigo de Balbín has played a major role in advancing our knowledge of Palaeolithic art, and the occasion of his retirement provides an excellent opportunity to assess the value of prehistoric art studies as a factor in the study of the culture of those human groups which produced this imagery. The diverse papers in this volume, published in Professor de Balbín's honour, cover a wide variety of the decorated caves which traditionally defined Palaeolithic art, as well as the open-air art of the period, a subject in which he has done pioneering work at Siega Verde and elsewhere. The result is a new and more realistic assessment of the social and symbolic framework of human groups from 40,000 BP onwards.

How does rock art as an object fashioned by human hands then differ from tools? What utility does it have beyond its symbolic value? The Vindhyan corpus of rock paintings has provided us with a very valuable opportunity to be answering such questions.
