Abstract

The author explores new terminology drawn from the relatively new science of memetics to answer some of the criticism certain rock art scholars have levelled against traditional terms such as ‘style’ and ‘art’. After a brief overview of the terms, there is a discussion of the petroglyphs found at Track Rock Gap, located in northern Georgia, U.S.A.
