About the book >.>.> We do not pretend to have all the answers even to the basic questions; some of our answers or theories may prove to be wrong but we have based what we have to say on experience and knowledge gained over twenty years of tramping the veld of Southern Africa studying and recording the rock art and on our studies in archaeology ethnography art and the records of the early history and exploration of this subcontinent. This book has been written in part for the layman and in part for the serious student of rock art. The main archaeological discussion is in chapter four for those who are interested while the history of the study of rock art is in chapter six. We have described and discussed the pictures as you would do when confronting them on the rocks. We have also described the rock shelters and the landscape around them to give the reader some idea of the setting of the art. After all the shelter where we originally traced the picture was the home or sanctuary of the painter and his people. (MP)
