Abstract
This project explores human responses to the arrival of the sea at Murujuga using a rock art lens. It focuses on adaptation and use of the archipelago’s land- and seascapes after islandisation. The character of Murujuga’s Holocene rock art assemblage is investigated, deepening our understanding of key attributes of this temporal phase. Characteristic Holocene styles, subjects and compositions are identified. Spatial distribution of rock art production is used to identify changes in how people were using the landscape through time. Life across the archipelago is also explored through analysis of specific motif types.
