- First published:
- 21st century
- Language: English
Analysis of Petroglyphic rock art in three valleys of Mongolia's Altai Mountains begins to explain the rhythm of cultural manifestations: where rock art appears, when it disappears, and why. The material and this remote arena offer an ideal laboratory to study the intersection of prehistoric culture and paleoenvironment.
