Living Heritage and hunter-gatherer rock art in south central Africa.

This paper explores a range of modern rituals conducted at huntergatherer rock art sites in Malawi and Zambia. It demonstrates that there are certain patterns in modern usage. Certain types of rock art images are associated with particular modern uses whereas other types of images are associated
with different modern uses. This information is combined with excavational evidence and hunter-gatherer ethnographies to discuss the question of
whether or not these modern uses can help to inform us about the original hunter-gatherer uses of rock art sites in south central Africa.
