Stories in the rocks touches on the deep and rich cultural history of our land and samples the vast documentation left behind by the ancient people who lived there. The research upon which this book is based utilizes advanced imaging techniques, including GigaPan robotic panoramic photography, reflectance transformation imaging (RTI), and 3-D laser imaging, coupled with geographic Information System ( GIS ). The success of this combination is self-evident here and in the accompanying website Arabian Rock Art Heritage (http://Saudi-Archeology.com). Rock art in the Kingdom provides enormous insight into the origins of the Arabian horse, a topic of great interest to a wide audience. This book reflects the use of a range of advanced imaging techniques that enhance the visibility and improve presentation of rock art so that scientists, art historians, and the general public can make their own discoveries regarding our dessert heritage.
