Rewriting landscape: incorporating sacred landscapes into cultural traditions

Abstract This paper deals with the different models of landscape found in prehistoric and historic periods in north‐west Iberia. This study particularly focuses on the form of the sacred landscape in Galicia and its transformation over time. Each successive phase incorporates beliefs and traditions from the past and interprets them in the present. That process can be described as ‘rewriting’ landscape.

Art, time and thought: a formal study comparing Palaeolithic and postglacial art

Abstract This paper considers a number of contrasts between Palaeolithic art and Levantine postglacial art and suggests that these are the expression of different conceptions of time and space. They can be related to the socio‐economic context in which the art was created. Each style of painting embodies a distinctive approach to time, the natural world and the exploitation of the landscape.
