Mysteries in the rocks of Ancient Chukotka (Petroglyphs of Pegtymel')
Dikov N and Bland RL. 1999. Mysteries in the rocks of Ancient Chukotka (Petroglyphs of Pegtymel'). Shared Beringian Heritage Program, National Park Service. Moscow; Anchorage AK
This book deals almost exclusively with rock art, an artifact uncommon in the far north. The Pegtymel’ site is unusual in many ways, but most significant for the anthropologist is that it graphically shows hunting methods and the animals hunted, modes of transportation, religious symbolism, and so on over the course of possibly thousands of years. These illustrations are the history of these people or peoples as they themselves depicted it.
