Interpreting superimposition in the rock art of the Makgabeng of South Africa’s Limpopo Province

Louw, Christian Arno January 2016 (has links)
M.Sc. Rock Art Studies (by research) in the Rock Art Research Institute, School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies (GAES), Faculty of Science University of the Witwatersrand. Johannesburg, 2016. / Northern Sotho, Khoekhoe, and San rock art occur together in many shelters across South Africa’s Limpopo province. In some cases, specimens of the rock art of these traditions can be seen to be painted directly over one another. By studying such occurrences on the Makgabeng plateau, this project assesses whether the superimposition of rock art among different painting traditions can reveal new insights regarding the painters and their relationships with ‘others’. By looking at how the social life of the rock art is manipulated through superimposition, this study aims to uncover how this manner of consumption reflects upon the nature of the interaction among people of different painting traditions. / LG2017
