The illustrated wraps are in near fine condition. 10 ¾ x 8 ¼, 137 pages, 15 ounces XX [From the preface] Ten years ago, the subject of this volume, Shamanism and Rock Art in North America, would have been greeted with skepticism by the archeological community, including many rock art specialists, despite the early and oft-publicized recognition of the relationship between iconography and the religious beliefs of preliterate people by a number of prestigious researchers. The functionalist schools of thought that held sway in most classrooms could not accommodate the apparent contradiction between labor-intensive activity and intangible returns. Rock art was an anomaly in the ruthless world of hunter-gatherer efficiency because its caloric value could not be determined. Hunting magic was the one explanation that accommodated this unproductive expenditure of effort by that model of prehistoric productivity, naive but ever-hopeful Economic Man. More eclectic researchers, however, recognized the relevance of the vast stores of ethnographic and historical detail gathered by anthropologists, historians, explorers, and colonial administrators. A measure of their influence on current research is the frequency with which they are cited - every author in this volume makes reference to Eliade's treatise on shamanism although I well remember an anonymous reviewer who, in 1982, advised my editors that Eliade was passé. To my everlasting gratitude, one of the first North American scholars to tap the ethnohistoric record is W.W. Newcomb, Jr. who presented the ethnographic case for the shamanistic origins of the Pecos River style art of Texas in 1967. These few prescient North Americans, however, had to await the revolution set in motion by researchers, led by David Lewis-Williams, who still had access to living descendants of artists whose paintings and carvings manifested their shamanistic beliefs. One extremely important aspect of their work was the legitimization of the use of relevant ethnography to explain rock art, a process that could then be extrapolated to those long-dead people that are the province of most archeologists. In 1993, the Witte Museum of San Antonio, Texas, sponsored a symposium on shamanism and rock art, drawing participants from four continents. Although none of the papers in this volume were given at that conference, the Rock Art Foundation, as one of the sponsors, determined to make a concerted effort to disseminate rock art research, to make it available to both scholars and the interested public at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. Thus, this collection of five essays is the first in a series dedicated to the propagation of rock art research.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. THE LEWIS CANYON PETROGLYPHS (Special Publication 2), Solveig A. Turpin and Joel Bass, with a contribution by W.R. Van der Veer, softcover, first edition, illustrated, 1997. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block and illustrations are in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. Not a remainder nor library book. No bookplate nor signature of prior owner. The wraps are in near fine condition (original price tag on back cover). Saddle-stapled. 11 x 8 1/2, 62 pages, 7 ounces XX [From the introduction] The Lower Pecos region of Texas and northern Mexico is well known for the elaborate body of Native American mural art found along its deeply entrenched canyons. Amidst the splendid colorful paintings, one very different rock art site stands apart. Lewis Canyon is the only large petroglyph site yet discovered in this region, its abstract designs in many ways more enigmatic and mysterious than the paintings. Known to rock art enthusiasts since 1938 when Forest Kirkland (Kirkland and Newcomb 1967) and AT. Jackson (1938) recorded it for posterity, Lewis Canyon yielded more of its secrets when the Rock Art Foundation, Inc. (RAF) sponsored detailed photo documentation and mapping of the site in 1991. A cluster of over 100 buried glyphs were unearthed, bringing the total number of individual designs to more than 900 and demonstrating for the first time that there were two stylistically and chronologically distinct episodes of glyph production. The two petroglyph styles can now be differentiated by iconography, sophistication of design, horizontal distribution, and relative elevation within the site. The older assemblage, here called the Lower Pecos Serpentine Style, is dominated by curvilinear lines, both separate and nested in series of two to four. Despite the prevalence of abstract designs, to some degree, this style favors composition and, in at least two cases, appears to be relating a story mythic event. The most common representational motif, the atlatl or spear thrower, is of some use in determining the age of the Serpentine Style. In the Lower Pecos region, the atlatl was theoretically replaced by the bow and arrow, marking the shift from Archaic to Late Prehistoric lifeways sometime between 1300 and 1000 years ago. Based on the frequent depiction of the atlatl, the Serpentine Style is tentatively considered to be Archaic in age, predating AD. 600 to 1000. At a slightly higher elevation, the second style is also composed of abstract geometric designs that concentrate in two areas with tailings of glyphs dispersed across the site. Over 770 glyphs are included in what is hereafter called the Lower Pecos Discrete Geometric Style. Despite their relatively clustered distribution, the individual designs are not conceptually joined by any other artistic device, such as the horizontal baselines, enclosures, or vertical separators so often used to differentiate conceptual space in petroglyph compositions (Ritter and Ritter 1994). There is no apparent rhyme or reason for the orientation of the designs nor any obvious relationship between them other than their generic abstractness, angular or curvilinear, the lines are more irregular and tend to deviate from the principle of straightness or roundness in a haphazard fashion.
