Neolithic Art: An Overview
A comparison of the images in Gardner’swith those in the other survey texts surprises. For my own field, as we shall see much further down the road, the extent of the overlap disturbed me, but here we actually see differences! As you can see, Stokstad, especially, but also Adams and Honour & Fleming hold some of the Neolithic material until the next chapter on the Ancient Near East. The chart, however, does not show how Gardner’s privileges the wall paintings at Catal Hoyuk, while the others privilege the sculpted material.
