 In this new synthesis, Robin Skeates draws on the complementary fields of visual culture studies and interpretative archaeology to examine how successive generations transformed their visual culture to construct themselves. He explores this process through an extended case-study of art and social life in prehistoric South-East Italy, between the Upper Palaeolithic and the Bronze Age
