Ancient Visions: Petroglyphs and Pictographs of the Wind River and Bighorn Country, Wyoming and Montana

Description

The Bighorn and Wind River basins of north-central Wyoming and southern Montana have been home to Native American tribes for at least 11|000 years and contain some of the most diverse assemblages of hunter-gatherer rock art anywhere in the world.
Most notable are the spectacular and surreal images of the Dinwoody tradition| but there is also a startling array of other forms from shield-bearing warriors to animals| plants| and abstract images.
Ancient Visions presents a sampling of these wonderful rock art figures.
The authors show how this ancient imagery can be integrated with the archaeological record.
Modern advances in rock-art dating techniques allow them to begin the process of incorporating image styles with archaeological chronologies.
The result is a new approach that offers a much different archaeological picture of the ancient Bighorn and Wind River basins.
Ancient Visions| now available in paperback| is the first book to fully consider and present this stunning body of ancient art.
