    Synopsis

    Holl (anthropology and Afro-American and African studies, U. of Michigan and curator, Museum of Anthropology, U. of Michigan) has written an analysis of the Neolithic rock paintings at Iheren, Algeria. He combines painstaking descriptions of each of the scenes with measured conclusions about what is being represented, looking in particular at the "message conveyed by the artist(s) through their choice of images and the placement of them within the larger work" (from the preface). The paintings are represented by b&w line drawings. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
