Now consider a pre-egoic culture without the consideration of a cosmo-spiritual dichotomy between landscape and self.......where would that lead us?


Can I suggest that "mapping " might be more appropriate than map (s) .
If you believe that maps or a mapping are "what it is all about " what is it about rock art that makes you believe that and could provide some evidence for others to see your point .


What evidence Tiompan do you have for mapping being more appropriate or in fact what arguments? (as opposed to the presumption)
then maybe we can move on to the latter questions.


There is little evidence to go on as you seem reluctant to actually say what you think "it's all about " and I did say "suggest " but fwiw the reasoning was . Map , when a noun tends to be a representation of the topography of the whole or part of a real or imagined area in space . When a verb it is an association of element with another or an arrangement of detail .
