A Path toward Understanding: Pictograph and Petroglyph Documentation and Data Collection [Deeper Digs]
Pictographs and petroglyphs, often referred to as rock art or rock imagery, are unique cultural resources and important archaeological features. However, many archaeologists may find the study of rock art intimidating for various reasons. Some people may not have experience with rock imagery because it does not exist or preserve in their environment. Others struggle with strategies for interpretation or understanding what can be learned from the myriad painted, pecked, and incised images found at archaeological sites. The goal of this webinar is to provide tools and a framework that makes the documentation and study of rock art more approachable. Throughout this course we will guide participants through modern methods of recordation with a focus on how research questions guide best practices. This seminar is intended for archaeologists at any career stage who have minimal to no experience with rock art documentation and analysis.
