Prehistoric rock carving holds a wealth of information concerning the development and evolution of man in society. This work shows how rock carvings created 3000 - 4000 BC and found between Scotland and Spain can be interpreted as a series of symbolic messages shared between monuments, artefacts and natural places in the landscape. It discusses the cultural setting of the rock carvings and demonstrates the fundamental role that they played in the organization of the prehistoric landscape. Based on a series of field projects in several regions of the British Isles, this work compares study results with those of comparable work in Galacia, north-west Spain.
