Combining the tools of the ethnologist with the aesthetic sensibilities of an artist, Carolyn Boyd demonstrates that prehistoric art is not beyond explanation. Images from the past contain a vast corpus of data-accessible through proven, scientific methods-that can enrich our understanding of human life in prehistory and, at the same time, expand our appreciation for the work of art in the present and the future.
