Book excerpt: A compilation of data on California rock art, organized in two volumes, within one cover. Volume I expands on the effort first undertaken in 1988 by the California State Office of Historic Preservation to create a comprehensive database of rock art sites in California. The late Bill Sonin (d.1993) provides expanded annotations, adds overlooked sites, and corrects misdesignations. Of particular value is his cross-referencing of site data to the rock art literature. This information appears appended to each site description and is also fully annotated in the bibliography, which is presented as Volume II. The publisher's address is 405 Hilgard Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90024-1510. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the Jo Anne Stolaroff Cotsen Prize The product of ten years of fieldwork at Little Lake Ranch in the Rose Valley, the southern gateway to the Owens Valley, this book presents the results of intensive rock art analyses carried out by the interdisciplinary research team of the UCLA Rock Art Archive. The research attempts to establish a connective web of associations to break down traditional but artificial barriers between rock art and the rest of archaeology. Through time-honored methods of stylistic analysis, the focus is on recent breakthroughs in the analysis of meaning and religion in the context of landscape attributes and ecological opportunities. Regional or ethnic differences suggested by the rock art record has made it possible to create a flexible analytical framework containing previously unpublished or overlooked archaeological excavation and object data. This book describes the occurrence, concentration, distribution, and formal variation of pecked and painted motifs. Scratched, pecked, and painted patterns are analyzed separately. Full-color illustrations throughout enhance the physical appeal of this beautiful book.
