Virginia Solstice Observatories, Portable Art, and Rockart Sites (Paperback)

This publication presents Virginia's art forms from rockart sites to portable specimens. They are defined and illustrated with the scope of the study as prehistoric communications (or ancient writings) from a world of long ago. Art is the physical output from someone's cognitive processes that attempts to convey a message about the world as the artist sees it (Hranicky, 1985). The art forms imply ceremonies and/or special attention to environmental events and physical objects.
