In addition, we will examine the dilemma posed to public land managers by Federal mandates to increase recreation opportunities, including public visitation to rock-art sites, and to protect Native American sacred sites, raising issues about appropriate interpretation, research, and conservation. Rock-art imagery has become a marketable commodity in South Africa, Australia, Europe, and here in the American Southwest. We will discuss ethics, intellectual property, cross-cultural aesthetics, who owns the past, who creates narratives about art made in the past, and who creates new art based on imagery from the past. This course requires students to see rock-art in its landscape context. A Manual for Rock Art Documentation , by Lawrence Loendorf, Linda Olson, Stuart Connor, and J.
