I think this will be good occasion of taking advantage of the cheap flights to Stansted airport (40 minutes distance) and came and join us. The registration fee is nominal (only 5 pounds) and morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea  and wine reception on Saturday will be included.

I hope to see many of you in Cambridge.

===========================================

The World of Rock Art Rock art provides tangible evidence for the link between past and present accessible to contemporary people.  There is often no restriction to rock art due to its outdoor location: everyone can see it, visit it and make sense of it.  The visual narratives captured in rock art allow for communication between artists in the past and subsequent viewers.  Rock art comprises a unique record that allows us to pose a variety of questions from different viewpoints, and provides the basis for a multidisciplinary field of study reflecting modern  concerns.     These include issues  of  identification,   management   and  preservation of this often very vulnerable and ephemeral art, creating a global  debate that governments, researchers and societies at large have to address, in  particular in the face of the massive changes accompanying globalisation in  recent decades. This conference invites contributors to participate in the current debate in the field.  Themes to be considered will include how rock art depictions and the ways they are created comprise evidence, and how such evidence can be interpreted in meaningful ways.   This conference will bring together researchers, heritage professionals, educators and intellectual property rights holders to assess the current state of rock-art research, management and  preservation.  Contributions are invited for presentations on all aspects in rock art research.
