Recommendations from these reports have led to the construction of walking tracks, barrier fences and viewing platforms to help care for the sites by directing tourists to the best places to look at the rock-art while at the same time preventing damage through touching or climbing.

Abstract: Using the general outlines of custodians' interpretations and the existing literature, this article examines the correlations of archaeological evidence and ethnographic information from some Arrernte rock-art complexes in Central Australia and presents an outline for interpreting and assessing the significance of Arrernte rock-art.

Duncan has photographed and here describes many of the rock-art sites found in the Hill Creek and Willow Creek, on the Northern Ute Reservation in Utah.

"In the four or [euro]ve years we've been excavating the site we've also managed to [euro]nd a lot more rock-art than was previously known to exist.

It gathers research papers addressing some key topics in rock-art studies, and thus becomes essential reading for anyone interested and/or conducting rock-art research today.

His account of the project discusses the survey, rock-art motifs, portable petroglyphs, circle-and-line petroglyphs, historic-period rock art, and prehistoric pictographs.
