Bradshaw Rock Art: a Biologist's Perspective. : Animal Biology Seminar Other events...
Bradshaw rock art is highly controversial in all its aspects, not least being its age. Respected direct physical dating methods have failed, with radiocarbon invalid for living art that continues to take up C14 from the environment, and with Uranium isotope series so far inoperative in silica-based art compared with its great success in limestone. Biology can fill the gap, based on a variety of methods such as identification of dated extinct fauna, DNA phylogeny of the biofilm, dating of the arrival of boab, dating of wasp nests over art, etc., all of which confirm the great antiquity of the art and reject superficial impressions that it is Holocene in origin.
