This comprehensive view of carvings and paintings on stone by Native Americans from 200 B.C. through the nineteenth century surveys the rock art of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, northern Mexico, and west Texas, providing an incomparable visual record of Southwest Indian culture, religion, and society.

Rock carvings and paintings are important sources in the archaeological and historical interpretation of Southwest Indians. Rock art reflects the cosmic and mythic orientation of the culture that produced it, and understanding of prehistoric peoples, both hunters and gatherers and the Hohokam, Anasazi, Mogollon, and Fremont cultures, and the Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache Indians. Culturally significant events such as the shift in prehistoric times from spear and atlatl to the bow, or, in the historic period, the introduction of the horse into the Southwest, are recorded in rock art.

The illustrations--thirty-two color plates, nearly 250 photographs, and numerous line drawings--bring together in one volume petroglyphs and rock paintings that are scattered over thousands of miles of desert and mesa, giving the reader an overview of Indian rock art that would be nearly impossible to achieve in the field.

Indian Rock Art of the Southwest examines from an archaeological perspective the rich legacy of stone drawings and carvings preserved throughout the Southwest. Professional and amateur archaeologists and historians, as well as the general reader with an interest in Indian art, will find this volume a valuable resource.

Fantastic and comprehensive look at SW rock art

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2013

Unless you are as knowledgeable as the people who write books like this, this is a fanatastic book to have available for learning about and enjoying the amazing rock art of the the Southwest. I tested it by checking some of my favorite areas to see what the book had to offer and it was generous and helpful without exception. The book's age is a plus since some of what is photographed is no longer easily accessible. This is a serious volume, but a dedicated novice can gain much from it, and the photographs should fascinate anyone.

The book was a little more academic that I was expecting but it has a tremendous amount of information and was well worth reading. The author is very knowledgeable and provides detailed information on a vast subject. Enjoyed it very much and is an excellent reference.

A bit more academic than I expected but it serves as a good reference book. It's still a good field book too. I have several books on Indian rock art and this book fills a gap in my collection.

This book was very informative on the rock art of the 4 corners area. Polly Schaafsma's writing was very informative in an easy to read style.
