Book excerpt: Ubirr and Nourlangie are two outstanding rock outliers adorned with Aboriginal Paintings, lying on plains beside the East Alligator River and the Arnhem Land Escarpment in Kakadu National Park in northern Australia.Dreaming paths of the Rainbow Serpent, the Lightning Man, the Cockatoo Lady, and Warramurrunundji the Earth Mother all pass through the region and are important Ancestral Beings for local Aboriginal people. For thousands of years Aborigines recorded important ceremonies, deities and totemic plants and animals by painting their images in the rock shelters, cliffs and overhangs of the region. Artistic styles have evolved over time, from naturalistic forms to the intellectual X-ray style, where the internal anatomy of the subject is portrayed. Aboriginal Paintings at Ubirr and Nourlangie provides a guide to the art sites open to the public, explaining their significance for Aboriginal people, both past and present.

Book Synopsis Histories of Australian Rock Art Research by : Jo McDonald
Download or read book Histories of Australian Rock Art Research written by Jo McDonald and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has one of the largest inventories of rock art in the world with pictographs and petroglyphs found almost anywhere that has suitable rock surfaces – in rock shelters and caves, on boulders and rock platforms. First Nations people have been marking these places with figurative imagery, abstract designs, stencils and prints for tens of thousands of years, often engaging with earlier rock markings. The art reflects and expresses changing experiences within landscapes over time, spirituality, history, law and lore, as well as relationships between individuals and groups of people, plants, animals, land and Ancestral Beings that are said to have created the world, including some rock art. Since the late 1700s, people arriving in Australia have been fascinated with the rock art they encountered, with detailed studies commencing in the late 1800s. Through the 1900s an impressive body of research on Australian rock art was undertaken, with dedicated academic study using archaeological methods employed since the late 1940s. Since then, Australian rock art has been researched from various perspectives, including that of Traditional Owners, custodians and other community members. Through the 1900s, there was also growing interest in Australian rock art from researchers across the globe, leading many to visit or migrate to Australia to undertake rock art research. In this volume, the varied histories of Australian rock art research from different parts of the country are explored not only in terms of key researchers, developments and changes over time, but also the crucial role of First Nations people themselves in investigations of this key component of their living heritage.

Book excerpt: The completion of a law degree and job offers from a number of law firms should have been a graduate's crowning achievement; however, Art Costello meets it with indifference. Art broods over his future before deciding to take a couple of gap years. Once committed to pursue other endeavours, he becomes hopeful that he may discover some meaning to his life. But he doesn't anticipate that it would he lead him to evaluate his very existence. Art gains knowledge about a people considered to have the oldest continuous culture on the planet, to have the world's longest living art tradition, and who remain true to their spiritual beliefs, since the time of creation, through their enduring connection to each other, to nature and to all living things. And yet these very people have been subjected to the most atrocious injustices ever perpetrated against human beings. Art learns a great deal from them, but the greatest lesson he learns is that of survival. These are the indigenous peoples of Australia.

Book Synopsis Global Perspectives for the Conservation and Management of Open-Air Rock Art Sites by : António Batarda Fernandes
Download or read book Global Perspectives for the Conservation and Management of Open-Air Rock Art Sites written by António Batarda Fernandes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Perspectives for the Conservation and Management of Open-Air Rock Art Sites responds to the growth in known rock art sites across the globe and addresses the need to investigate natural and human-originated threats to them as well as propose solutions to mitigate resulting deterioration. Bringing together perspectives of international research teams from across five continents, the chapters in this book are divided into four discrete parts that best reflect the worldwide scenarios where conservation and management of open-air rock art sites unfolds: 1) ethics, community and collaborative approaches; 2) methodological tools to support assessment and monitoring; 3) scientific examination and interventions; and 4) global community and collaborative case studies innovating methodologies for ongoing monitoring and management. The diverse origin of contributions results in a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that conciliates perceived intervention necessity, community and stakeholders’ interests, and rigorous scientific analysis regarding open-air rock art conservation and management. The book unites the voices of the global community in tackling a significant challenge: to ensure a better future for open-air rock art. Moving conservation and management of open-air rock art sites in from the periphery of conservation science, this volume is an indispensable guide for archaeologists, conservators and heritage professionals involved in rock art and its preservation.
