DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2020.05.057
Abstract: Abstract During the last decades, ethnographic observations taught hunter-gatherer archaeologists to incorporate social phenomena into their interpretative models of land uses, including rock art. Although ethnographic analogies always allow only a rough approximation to the… read more here.
