Reviews
The prehistoric traditions of creating images on open-air rock faces is well-known as a truly pan-European phenomenon. However, its importance in demonstrating local distinctiveness, shared concepts or wider social structures is frequently only brought out through collaborative international research. This volume makes a significant contribution to such endeavours.

Synopsis
Updated overview of European Rock Art studies, demonstrating the subject's diversity and the breadth of methods used in today's research., Pictures from the Bronze Age are numerous, vivid and complex. There is no other prehistoric period that has produced such a wide range of images spanning from rock art to figurines to decoration on bronzes and gold. Fourteen papers, with a geographical coverage from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, examine a wide range of topics reflecting the many forms and expressions of Bronze Age imagery encompassing important themes including religion, materiality, mobility, interaction, power and gender. The contributors explore specific elements of rock art in some detail such as the representation of the human form; images of manslaughter; and gender identities. The relationship between rock art imagery and its location on the one hand, and metalwork and networks of trade and exchange of both materials and ideas on the other, are considered. Modern and ancient perceptions of rock art are discussed, in particular the changing perceptions that have developed during almost 150 years of documented research. Picturing the Bronze Age is based on an international workshop with the same title held in Tanum, Sweden in October 2012., Pictures from the Bronze Age are numerous, vivid and complex.
