The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art
Rock art is one of the most visible and geographically widespread of cultural expressions, and it spans much of the period of our species' existence. Rock art also provides rare and often unique insights into the minds and visually creative capacities of our ancestors and how selected rock outcrops with distinctive images were used to construct symbolic landscapes and shape worldviews. Equally important, rock art is often central to the expression of and engagement with spiritual entities and forces, and in all these dimensions it signals the diversity of cultural practices, across place and through time. Over the past 150 years, archaeologists have studied ancient arts on rock surfaces, bot...

Ennedi, Tales on stone. Rock art in the Ennedi massif
In the last few decades, a surprisingly large variety of subjects and styles of rock art have been brought to light in northern Chad by scholars and passionate travellers. In the Ennedi region, relatively recent painted scenes of daily life occur, but also earlier human figures and rare events such as a leopard hunt. However, what is really characteristic of this region are the galloping mounted horses and camels, painted in original styles. Interestingly, the DStretch® plugin to ImageJ© has recently made it possible to see that in some cases the visible paintings are superimposed on older, faint images, very different in style and barely discernible to the naked eye. In some cases, painti...
La caverne originelle
Parmi les nombreuses hypothèses proposées pour expliquer l'" art des cavernes ", beaucoup ont été définitivement réfutées ; d'autres ne sont pas totalement à rejeter, même si elles ne sauraient tenir lieu d'élucidation globale. Face à ces impasses, d'aucuns considèrent qu'il est plus sage de cesser de chercher. Le pari de ce livre est plutôt de chercher ailleurs et autrement. À partir de la plus riche base de données élaborée à ce jour, recensant 452 cavités dont l'ornementation est attribuable au Paléolithique, et à l'issue d'un examen serré des analyses qui se sont succédé depuis plus d'un siècle, Jean-Loïc Le Quellec développe ici une approche entièrement nouve...
Ennedi, Pierres historiées. Art rupestre dans le massif de l’Ennedi (Tchad)
Au cours des dernières décennies, dans le nord du Tchad, des savants et des voyageurs passionnés ont mis en lumière une quantité de sujets et de styles d’art rupestre, étonnamment variés. Dans la région de l’Ennedi, se trouvent des scènes peintes relativement récentes, qui montrent la vie quotidienne, mais il y a aussi des figures humaines plus anciennes et des événements rares, tels qu’une chasse au léopard. Pourtant, ce sont des chevaux et chameaux montés, au galop, peints dans des styles originaux, qui forment vraiment la caractéristique de cette zone. Fait intéressant, le greffon DStretch® pour le logiciel de traitement d’images ImageJ© a récemment permis de vo...
