Article Title:Rock art and rock music: Petroglyphs of the south Indian Neolithic

Abstract:
The rock art of Kupgal, south India, represents an archive of images amassed over five millennia. The author works out a first sequence and shows how the Neolithic petroglyph site may have functioned in its landscape-as a ritual locality at which not only images but sound, performance and social relationships were all prominent.
