Hovenweep Rock Art: An Anasazi Visual Communication System (original) (raw)

Nancy Olsen's "Hovenweep Rock Art: An Anasazi Visual Communication System" is a study that aims to contribute to the understanding of Native American rock art, focusing specifically on the Hovenweep National Monument. The work documents the rich rock art tradition of the Anasazi and attempts to connect various theories of interpretation including art history, linguistics, and cultural anthropology. Despite providing a wealth of visual documentation and a substantial methodology, the study has limitations in its interpretative frameworks and suffers from editing issues, which raises questions about its classifications and conclusions.
