Summary:

At Global Rock Art scientists, students and people interested in the research, conservation and promotion of rock manifestations will meet and present their papers and information from all continents thus showing that rock art is a worldwide cultural phenomenon.

Different methods of investigation, interpretation and new discoveries, scientific development and the dynamics of cultural creation and distribution can be related and compared at the meeting.

The congress will try to demonstrate that globalization is not a present-day occurrence, it started when man left his home in Africa and spread over all the continents. The congress is international and will show that Homo sapiens genetically carries a pattern of answers to problems created by the environment and by his Psyche. For this reason the congress is called Global RockArt.

Deadline for proposal submission: 30 July 2008

The End of period for registration of participants for the different sessions: 30 January 2009
