Retos y perspectivas en el estudio del arte rupestre en México

En este volumen se muestra el quehacer actual sobre la gráfica rupestre. El análisis y la óptica personal, en cada caso, son el cimiento para establecer líneas de investigación y tomar iniciativas en proyectos como los realizalos en 1990 y 2005 sobre el mismo tema y que sigan dinamizando estos estudios. Los conceptos vertidos permitirán tener datos sobre su desarrollo, establecer un diagnóstico y, con base en ellos, proponer futuras líneas de investigación.
