I don't know the Hoskins connection to Pastora could you give me the title , it looks good .Similar shifts in attitudes may happen in RA studies too. There are lots of ingrained ways of thinking in the study of RA that are not necessarily backed up by the evidence . Personally I have big doubts about , pathways & intervisibility , complex motifs being on the higher ground , complexity itself being considered from the purely visual i.e. numbers of rings and uncommon motifs highlight certain sites when the vast majority of cases are quite simple and rarely get considered in the equation , the importance attached to drawings (which I almost prefer to pics ) which priveleges a certain viewpoint and doesn't consider the immediate texture , colour and gradations of the surface and wider landsape (difficult to do ) but the end result is concentrated on the motifs .
