Pictographs of the Lower Pecos Region, Texas: Patterns of Rock Art on the Landscape, thesis movie

I made this movie to accompany my master's thesis
Pictographs of the Lower Pecos, Texas: Patterns of Rock Art on the Landscape
Lori C. Sloat, May 2010
My thesis interprets Archaic hunter-gatherer behavior based on pictographs found in thirty rock shelter sites in the lower Pecos region of Texas. I approach this study with traditional archaeological methods, rock art methods, and landscape theory to investigate how the Archaic hunter-gatherers of the lower Pecos used the landscape. I evaluate multiple hypotheses with empirically gathered rock art site data and their natural geomorphological contexts. I use both quantitative and spatial analysis. I examine the experience of moving through the landscape and how the movement through the landscape relates to the function of the rock art sites.
