Trip Report Graffiti Rock; The Cultural DNA expression of 3 common motifs

This paper has numerous offensive images, but captured for pure scientific value. Where the images contain cultural DNA in the form of EPEMC/Velikovskian motifs and archetypes, comments are added. The main demonstration is that some objects of sexual and genitalia expression move and teter closer and closer to actual EPEMC motifs. This is an automatic self-expressionism, not under duress. Another way of putting it is this: people can draw literally anything they want, from slogans and logos to art, to long-form text. However, repeatedly multiple individuals, of their own volition, express common Saturnian and other catastrophic motifs. The cover, Figure 1, clearly depicts a (sarcastic, vindictive) god sun, which has the same eye motifs found at the Three Rivers Petroglyphs site! This is colorfully done, and fascinating mass psychology that reflects a better Velikovskian origin for archetypes, whereas the Jungian-Campbellian has little logic to it, and certainly no obvious genesis.

An Analysis of Motif Clusters at the Nanguluwurr Rock Art Site, Kakadu National Park, N. T. Australia

Journal of field archaeology, 2021

During recent detailed recording of Nanguluwurr, a rock art site that is part of the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) complex of cultural sites in Kakadu National Park, Australia, the data showed discrete clusters of specific motif types distributed throughout the length of the gallery. This paper focuses on the spatial distribution of the main motif clusters depicting spirit figures, material culture, fish, and painted hand and forearm motifs in order to understand the significance of these clusters within the site and the significance of Nanguluwurr as part of a wider complex of cultural sites. We consider the concept of these motif groupings as "meaning clusters," as well as their chronological sequence, and discuss the possibility that they are the result of bursts of painting activity that occurred during the long history of the site manifest through depictions of ancient Dynamic Figures to the recent painting of X-ray fish.

Rock Art Studies Bibliographic Database KEYWORD GUIDE r.4

2020

The aim of the RASBdb keyword guide is to support nuanced searches of the world’s rock art literature. With the advent of the Systematic Quantitative Literature Review (SQLR) methodology making its way into academic rock art research, it is hoped that this keyword guide will assist students and researchers in expanding their familiarity with the body of research that impacts their research questions. The current revision of this guide (r.4) includes hundreds of new search terms that were culled from 7700 citations that included the keyword "motif" in the subject keyword field.
