The purpose of Seeing and Knowing is to demonstrate the depth and wide geographical impact of David Lewis-Williams contribution to rock art research by emphasizing theory and methodology drawn from ethnography. Contributors explore what it means to understand and learn from rock art, and a contrast is drawn between those sites where it is possible to provide a modern, ethnographic context, and those sites where it is not. This is the definitive guide to the interplay between ethnography and rock art interpretation, and is an ideal resource for students and researchers alike.

"This collection of essays makes a relevant and significant contribution to the field of rock art research. Many of the chapters are based on solid fieldwork and ethnography that offer a new body of evidence for differentiation between knowing and simply seeing." -Janette Deacon
