Carl Schuster photographed incised stones on five continents, noting how body-designs, garment-designs \u0026amp; pebble-designs often employed the same tools \u0026amp; techniques. Carpenter argues that Schuster recognized in these examples representations of ancestral spirits and tribal lineage. As such, for Carpenter, art shares with language a capacity for cultural transmission, and is a storage system for the collective experience of the tribe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Carpenter, Carl Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943982074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943982073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock Foundations Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Edmund Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940236755199,"sku":"9781943982073","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bd159dfe-8ebe-4439-9e4c-6eabcf87fbf1.jpg?v=1681446032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-symbolism-in-ancient-edmund-carpenter-9781943982073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
