Archaeology Seminar Series : Murujuga Petroglyphs – Rock Art Narratives |
Other events...
|
Murujuga, Burrup Peninsula, comprises one of the
world’s greatest petroglyphs assemblages. Spanning
many tens of thousands of years, displaying a myriad
of styles and subjects; this rock art provides many
stories. Correspondingly, the discipline of rock art
research has a number of paradigms and ways of
interpreting. One of the advantages Australia has
over many other rock art provinces is the existence of
people directly linked to the art, it is a living tradition.
This, sometimes, can add a complication to research
but in the main it adds a rich and insightful way of
viewing rock art. There are other ways of getting at
the story than through the Aboriginal informed
process. Description of what we see, the formal
recording and analysis of objects has proved to be
useful in archaeology. Ways of looking, ways of
identifying and ways of interpreting are interwoven
with the rock art of Murujuga. This seminar explores
just some of the intertwining of these narratives,
revealing patterns in understanding the petroglyphs
and the sacred landscape of Murujuga.
