Archaeologies of rock art : South American perspectives / edited by Andrés Troncoso, Felipe Armstrong, George Nash - London : Routledge, 2018 - xv, 301 p. : ill., charts, maps ; 24 cm.

Rock art in South America is as diverse as the continent itself. In this vast territory, different peoples produced engravings, paintings, and massive earthworks, from the Atacama to the Amazon. These marks on the landscape were made by all different kinds of peoples, from some of the earliest hunter-gatherers in the continent, to the very complex societies within the Inca Empire. This book brings together the work of specialists from throughout the continent, addressing this diversity, as well as the variety of approaches that the Archaeology of rock art has taken in South America.
