Saharan Rock Art : Archaeology of Tassilian

The Neolithic rock images of Iheren, Algeria are the starting point for Augustin Holl's careful analysis of the iconography of Saharan rock art. Holl examines the various strands of evidence--icons, ideas, motifs, colors, and sizes--and weaves them together into a story that offers a window on the pastoralist worldview through the semiotics of their art.
