The Rock Paintings of Lower Nubia (Czechoslovak Concession)
Original language description
The monograph is the first exhaustive publication of nine shelters with rock paintings documented by the Czechoslovak expedition in Lower Nubia in the scope of the UNESCO-organised salvage campaign in the 1960s. The presentation of each of the painted shelters includes description of the landscape setting and physical characteristics of the rock surfaces, analysis of the thematic, stylistic, syntactic, and technical aspects of the rock art, discussion of the spatial and temporal dynamics of the rock-artsurface, and evaluation of the significance of the evidence. The final chapter summarises the overall significance of rock paintings from the Czechoslovak concession as one of the artistic and cultural expressions of the populations that inhabited LowerNubia in different periods of the past and as historical documents about their past worlds and lives.
