The archaeological perception of hunter--gatherer peoples who have created a large portion of the world's existing rock art has changed during the last 100 years. Radical shifts in prevailing theories about their rock art have emerged in the last decade (Bahn & Lorblanchet 1993; Clottes & Lewis-Williams 1998; Conkey 1996). Clottes & Lewis-Williams (1998) in their historical summary of rock-art theories remind us that the theories and conventional wisdom accepted in academia `are not born in a conceptual void. They are influenced by the major trends of thought at any given time'. This paper presents some of the current trends of thought in rock-art research.
