Abstract
Beyond Art addresses the appearance and distribution of image and symbol encoded in material culture in prehistory. Using analytic methods and insights developed in archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and archeometry, this volume explores the differential patterns of the appearance, development, and disappearance of image-making among many Late Pleistocene and Holocene peoples. The contributors, specialists in the field from Africa, Australia, Europe, and North America, document the reality that there is no one Paleolithic Art.
