“…Far from being uniform and identical, the construction of a facsimile reflects the choices made by the various actors involved in the process, whether in terms of the location, the construction modalities, or scenographic projects (cf. Cachat et al 2012;Malgat et al 2012 ;Malgat et al 2015 ;Duval et al 2019b. See also James 2016James , 2017 Other than the reproductions of the Altamira ceiling, which take centre stage in the gardens of the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid and the Deutsches Museum in Munich, and correspond more to mobile archaeological artefacts, the facsimiles are located in immediate proximity to the decorated caves that they represent.…”

In this paper, we discuss the management strategies applied to rock art in western cultural contexts. How do the persons responsible for rock art sites manage the tension between the two opposing imperatives of, on one side, their conservation and long-term transmission, and the other, their opening to the public to enable their heritage value to be shared and transmitted in the present? What forms do the articulation of conservation and public access take? Drawing on a typology of the many possible configurations, we discuss the choices made by the actors in charge of decorated sites, as well as the variability of some of the criteria considered, such as the 'carrying capacity' of a site, to define visit protocols. We thus demonstrate that the implementation of quotas depends not only on climatic and biochemical factors but on the priorities of the decision-makers and their interpretation of the preservation of a decorated site as well. Finally, our empirical approach leads to a discussion of the accessibility of rock art sites from the angle of heritage access rights and the heritage-making process. What meaning do we ascribe to sites that remain closed and thus cannot be experienced by the public? To what degree are they (still?) heritage sites and for whom? Through an empirical and comparative approach, we address these questions based on an analysis of case studies in France and northern Spain.

“…Here, an alternative answer was found: a monumental-scale replica of the cave, built to allow 13-Jun-18 10:07:04 PM large-scale visitation without detrimental effects to the original site. This replica was opened to the public in April 2015 (Malgat, Duval, & Gauchon 2015). The need to preserve the original fabric of a rock art site is compounded in contexts like Europe where the art has lost its ancestral links to Indigenous communities.…”

“…This sense of transfer of heritage from the original applies also to the Caverne du Pont d' Arc, the replica of Chauvet Cave, which opened in April 2015. Here, there may even have been a status reversal between the two entities, with the original cave taking the status as the 'reference object' and the copy the 'heritage place and asset' (Malgat et al 2015). Visitors are prepared to be regaled by a replica that immerses them 'in a world so strange seemingly still inhabited by humans and bears' 7 (SMERGC 2012: 9).…”

Rock art tourism facilities at publicly accessible sites range widely from a total absence of purpose-built infrastructure to multimillion-dollar interpretation centres, and from free and unrestricted visitation to full fee-paying, highly mediated visitation experiences run by tourism professionals. This chapter addresses questions surrounding the principles and practices of rock art tourism development in conjunction with issues of heritage management and conservation; each site is different, and development practices in one area cannot simply be transferred to another, although common methodologies may be followed. The most appropriate developments are constructed by first understanding the significance of places through genuine consultative processes that include all interested parties. Using examples from around the world, the authors provide an historical overview of rock art tourism in caves and open-air sites and discuss integrated rock art tourism management with a focus on conservation, interpretation, territoriality, and cultural connectivities.

This handbook is currently in development, with individual articles publishing online in advance of print publication. At this time, we cannot add information about unpublished articles in this handbook, however the table of contents will continue to grow as additional articles pass through the review process and are added to the site. Please note that the online publication date for this handbook is the date that the first article in the title was published online. For more information, please read the site FAQs. Rock art is one of the most visible and geographically widespread of cultural expressions, and it spans much of the period of our species’ existence. Rock art also provides rare and often unique insights into the minds and visually creative capacities of our ancestors and how selected rock outcrops with distinctive images were used to construct symbolic landscapes and shape worldviews. Equally important, rock art is often central to the expression of and engagement with spiritual entities and forces, and in all these dimensions it signals the diversity of cultural practices, across place and through time. Over the past 150 years, archaeologists have studied ancient arts on rock surfaces, both out in the open and within caves and rock shelters, and social anthropologists have revealed how people today use art in their daily lives. The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art showcases examples of such research from around the world and across a broad range of cultural contexts, giving a sense of the art’s regional variability, its antiquity, and how it is meaningful to people in the recent past and today – including how we have ourselves tended to make sense of the art of others, replete with our own preconceptions. It reviews past, present, and emerging theoretical approaches to rock art investigation and presents new, cutting edge methods of rock art analysis for the student and professional researcher alike.
