This book offers new insights into the purpose of ancient monuments through an analysis of the methods by which oral cultures maintain a vast store of pragmatic knowledge. Lynne Kelly considers how the Australian Aboriginal, Native American, African, Pacific, and European cultures stored and transmitted knowledge in the absence of writing.
