Author: Dr. Hamdi Abbas Ahmed Abd-El-Moneim
An attempt to utilise new methods and techniques for recording rock art in north-west Africa. The main aim of this book is three-fold: to bring attention to the Mauritanian rock art which has received little attention compared with the rock art of other parts of the Saharan zone; to make a new recording of this corpus with special emphasis on a number of elements that previous work either ignored or omitted; and to carry out two different interpretative analyses in order to gain a better understanding of the recorded corpus (as an example of the Mauritanian rock art). The author has succeeded to show the recorded work not as isolated figures but as groups of interrelated figures, as well as introduce Mauritanian rock art to the readers, and show the significant role of this sort of archaeological material in studying the history of the region before the appearance of written records.This book is published in English Language.
