520 8  Annotation|bThe prehistoric record of southern Africa 
       extends back some 2 million years. The oldest cultural 
       artefacts are stone tools such as handaxes, cleavers and 
       choppers. In more recent centuries, archaeologists have 
       found an extensive repertoire of artefacts including not 
       only stone tools, but tools of bone, wood and shell as 
       well as beads, jewellery, grinding stones, clothing, 
       fishing equipment, burials and southern Africa's enigmatic
       rock art. Understanding these painted scenes and 
       menageries is not immediately obvious. Using this 
       interpretive guide, visitors to these ancient shrines can 
       properly interpret rock art panels and make sense of the 
       complex world of Bushman beliefs. Bushman Rock Art is the 
       first of its kind. Never before has rock art been so 
       dissected and presented in such an easy- to-understand, 
       interpretive manner, exploring the deep symbolic meaning 
       behind the art and what these powerful images meant to 
       Bushman artists. The images they painted, all with 
       exquisite attention to detail, have deep ties to Bushman 
       cosmology and their religious beliefs. With a selection of
       images from across southern Africa, deciphering the 
       painted sequence of motifs is simple and innovative, 
       making it possible for the layperson to truly appreciate 
       this phenomenal artistic tradition. Also included is a 
       guide to rock art sites in South Africa, Namibia and 
       Botswana. Tim Forssman was born in Johannesburg in 1986. 
       He began cultivating a passion for prehistory and nature 
       at school. Having completed an archaeology degree at the 
       University of the Witwatersrand, he is now studying his 
       PhD at the University of Oxford in England. He is 
       currently researching ancient Bushmen who once lived in 
       the remote parts of eastern Botswana. His research 
       interests include the Iron Age, experimental archaeology, 
       the Stone Age and rock art. Lee Gutteridge was born in 
       Sheffield, England in 1973. Passionate about African 
       wildlife, he is now a professional field guide with 18 
       years bush experience. He is currently the chairman of the
       Waterberg region of the Field Guides' Association of 
       Southern Africa (FGASA) and also the principal trainer of 
       the Entabeni Nature Guide Training School. His books 
       include the best-selling The Bushveld: A South African 
       Field Guide, including the Kruger Lowveld (2008) and 
       Okavango Field Guide (2011).
