Descrição: The preservation of rock art, both as a cultural heritage and as an archaeological resource, is crucial. In addition to preserving the art, we must work to preserve the associated natural and cultural environments. Nondestructive recording of the physical attributes of the art must be accompanied by recording of the cultural aspects--the stories of the artists or their descendants (when available). Information from oral histories should be included (when appropriate). Archaeological data recovery in the immediate area should be considered to improve our understanding of the types of activities associated with the creation or continued use of the art. National and even worldwide research centers and data banks should be encouraged, as well as specialized coursework and university degrees. More rock art sites should be included on the World Heritage List, and nation-states should be encouraged to legislate and enforce protective measures. Following the lead of France and Spain, rock art can be meticulously reproduced in settings that are open to the public, affording better protection for the actual sites. Local communities must be afforded an economic stake in any programs to preserve rock art or increase cultural tourism.
