Carving a Future for British Rock Art: New Directions for Research, Management and Presentation. Edited by Tertia Barnett and Kate Sharpe.

”Over the last few years, the ways in which we perceive and document rock art have shifted irreversibly.

Previously considered a fringe activity and the work of amateur archaeologists, over the last 30 years the situation has improved considerably, and the appearance of books such as this signify the change.”
