ABSTRACT
C. Tilley examines the distribution of motifs on each of the rocks at Namforsen, looking at their combination in different compositions. Jan Magne Gjerde has extended K. Helskog's analysis to the study of a suite of rock art sites across northern Scandinavia and Russia. The chapter discusses meaning and its relationship to matter. It looks at a variety of case studies: Scandinavian rock art; Pueblo architecture and material culture; Roman mosaics; Inka architecture. Pueblos are a distinctive architectural feature of the American Southwest. Composed of adobe mudbrick and wood, Pueblo villages may have been home to several thousand individuals at one time. Some Pueblos – such as those in Chaco canyon, New Mexico – have long been abandoned. S. Fowles examines activities at Taitona Pueblo, New Mexico. His analysis of the symbolic significance of activities at T'aitona is based upon an ecological or sympathetic principle that examines how 'every thing is caught up in the flux of every other thing'.
