Archaeology and Rock Art Studies Indigenous Cultures and History Australian Indigenous Culture and History

Abstract

This chapter turns to intergenerational historical memory and the function of rock art as both archive and mnemonic as the art’s own communicative power. Through the biography of Josie Maralngurra, we reveal the art’s function in passing historical knowledge to the next generation at its production, content, through evoking memory and its speaking to future generations. Rock art is a means of transferring knowledge in the present to future generations; a living practice as well as ancient record.
