Ten years after Cartailhac’s admission, archaeology discovered that humans first evolved in England, following the find of some bones in a certain gravel pit at Piltdown. The former fake art became evidence for ritual, religion, shamanism, symbolism, and the first emergence of ‘high culture’. In 1902 Professor Émile Cartailhac published his mea culpa, and the discipline over-reacted by adopting the opposite reaction to Paleolithic ‘art’, now turning it into the center of a cult-like belief system. Researchers who consult the online database in concert with their reference to the Paleolithic Rock Art bibliography will discover a powerful ally in further refining geographic and thematic inquiries. The online version of the RAS Bibliographic Database at the Museum of Northern Arizona is updated annually and we refer the reader to that resource for up-to-date bibliographic data revisions and additions. The Paleolithic Rock Art bibliography results from an export of data from the RAS database and captures a freeze-frame in the state of the rock art literature for the world’s Paleolithic rock art as compiled here in the year 2018. After thirteen years of collaboration the project found a new home and collaborator at the Anthropology Department at the Museum of Northern Arizona. The RAS database first launched online as a joint project of the Bay Area Rock Art Research Association and University of California’s Bancroft Library. Over 37,000 citations are currently contained in the database. The data compilation has been undertaken by Leigh Marymor with the year 2018 marking the 25th year of continuous revision and expansion of the data.

An ever increasing number of citations within the database include web links to online versions of the reference cited and many citations include full author’s abstracts. The results of a data search can further be sorted by any of the data fields including: authors’ names date title and so forth.
Geared to the broadest interests of rock art researchers students cultural resource managers and the general public the RAS database makes rock art literature accessible through a simple search interface that facilitates inquiries into multiple data fields including authors’ names title and publication place-name keyword subject keyword ISBN/ISSN number and abstract. The Rock Art Studies Bibliographic Database is an open access online resource that fulfills the need for a searchable portal into the world’s rock art literature.
