Storied Stone: Indian Rock Art the Black Hills Country

Drawing on more than twenty years of fieldwork, Linea Sundstrom identifies the chronological depth, stylistic variations, and multiple interpretations of petroglyphs and cliff paintings in this richly illustrated volume. Sundstrom describes the age, cultural affiliation, and meaning of a wide variety of petroglyphs and rock paintings—from warriors’ combat scenes and images related to girls’ puberty rites to depictions of creation myths and sacred visions.
