SynopsisThis revised edition is an accumulation of two decades of research and fieldwork by the authors, and presents a comprehensive account of the little known prehistoric rock art within the North York Moors area. It covers Northern England's last major area of rock art and describes the geographical and moorland setting of sites including those associated with other archaeological monuments. Its main focus remains the rock art on Fylingdales Moor near Ravenscar where, following a devastating moorland fire in 2003, over 200 sites were recorded including the stunning 'Linear Marked Stone'. Included is a new section on recording techniques using laser, photogrammetry and other methods, an updated gazetteer of recently discovered rock art sites in the North York Moors area, and appendices providing details of recent major discoveries within the area. The book offers a rational, clearcut and invaluable source of information to all those with an interest in or intention to study rock art. Paul Brown, independent archaeologist, has discovered many of the finest examples of prehistoric rock art in the UK, and has researched the rock art of regions such as Cumbria, Durham, Northumberland and Scotland., A fully revised and updated edition, featuring all the latest rock art discoveries. A work of important archaeological research, presented in an accessible style. Fully illustrated throughout with striking photographs and drawings of the mysterious rock carvings. This book is the culmination of over fifteen years of research and fieldwork by two dedicated rock art researchers, and presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of the little known prehistoric rock carvings in the North York Moors. It covers the last major area of rock art in northern England and provides a full account of the geographical and landscape setting of all sites. The main focus of rock art in the North York Moors is Fylingdales Moor near Ravenscar, which includes the publicly acclaimed linear marked stone. Details of all known rock art sites in the region are included with particular reference to the diversity and variety of motifs, together with information on the associated archaeology of the surrounding landscape.
