Engendering North European rock art : bodies and cosmologies in Stone and Bronze Age imagery

• This chapter explores how sex, gender, and embodiment are expressed in North Euro- pean rock art. Contributions that approach rock art with engendered perspectives are described, along with an appraisal of the present state of gendered rock art research. We regard rock art as part of the prevailing cosmologies of Stone and Bronze Age societies in northern Europe, and investigate how sex and gender are significant components of these.
