Historically, California rock art research has played a marginalized role in mainstream archaeology. Researchers have been reluctant, largely based on the lack of reliable dating methods, to incorporate rock art into their research designs. Likewise, many rock art researchers have failed to place rock art in a broader archaeological context. Increasingly, these two avenues of study are converging, presenting us with the opportunity to form a newly contextualized view of archaeology. This paper will synthesize a selection of past and current archaeological projects to broaden our understanding of the potentially important benefits of including rock art as an integral site component. An historical look at rock art studies in California provides some insight into the development of the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
