Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Rock art is used as a way to explain the histories of the tribes that created it. There are interesting tidbits about their way of life and migration patterns--- things discerned from the centuries-old art. The patterns form an interesting historical narrative in which farming develops, leading to permanent settlements. The book really finds its stride as it focuses on one particular group, the Anasazi. Young learners might be very fascinated (and slightly disgusted-- hey, whatever keeps their interest) in knowing ancient Anasazi art methods: using animal blood to make paints and the like. The book also has a great cultural narrative, and could be used by teachers looking to diversify their readings. ( ) no reviews | add a review
