Conserving Australian Rock Art

Intended primarily for managers of rock art in Australia, this manual covers such areas as deterioration processes, sources of damage, visitor management and practical conservation.

The manual aims to better equip site manages to recognise and undertake straightforward conservation work in the field, and to recognise more complex problems which require professional help. Examples of the processes and techniques are discussed, together with informative colour illustrations which are drawn from sites around Australia.
