Open-Air Rock-Art Conservation and Management
While much has been achieved in understanding and managing weather effects and erosion phenomena affecting ancient imagery within the relatively protected environments of caves and rock-shelters, the same cannot be said of rock-art panels situated in the open-air. Despite the fact that the number of known sites has risen dramatically in recent decades there are few examples in which the weathering and erosion dynamics are under investigation with a view to developing proposals to mitigate the impact of natural and cultural processes.

Serra da Capivara: A surpresa do século
O livro Serra da Capivara: a surpresa do século fala sobre as descobertas do maior acervo de pinturas rupestres a céu aberto no mundo, desde a primeira fotografia mostrada a Niéde Guidon em 1963, passando pela criação de um parque nacional, até os anos 20 deste século, abrangendo mais de 60 anos de história. Apresenta a saga de Niéde Guidon, arqueóloga paulista que dedicou toda a sua vida à pesquisa sobre as pinturas rupestres e à luta pela preservação delas enquanto patrimônio cultural da Humanidade. Aborda também a polêmica internacional sobre a datação dos vestÃgios encontrados na Serra da Capivara resultarem em ser os mais antigos das Américas e propondo novas teorias sobre a chegada dos primeiros homens ao continente. E por fim, mostra no contexto atual como a população da Caatinga convive com as mudanças que tais descobertas trouxeram. O livro consegue reunir e ordenar as informações cientÃficas, administrativas, polÃticas e sociais que compõem a narrativa histórica de nosso maior patrimônio arqueológico e cultural.
