Beswick Creek Cave six decades later: change and continuity in the rock art of Doria Gudaluk

Abstract

The rock art of Doria Gudaluk (Beswick Creek Cave) in theNorthern Territory of Australia has previously provided a valuable lesson inthe difficulties of definitive interpretation without local knowledge. Now,newly recorded motifs at the site—some only visible with digitalenhancement—highlight the dangers of relating stylistic changes to thereplacement of different cultures. When considered in the context of localhistory, developments in the rock art of Doria Gudaluk during the secondhalf of the twentieth century can be understood as the result of newcultural collaborations between incoming groups and older, localcommunities.
