Abstract
Abstract Zambian rock painting sites are described and evaluated, emphasis being placed on recently discovered material and on evidence for the establishment of regional stylistic sequences. Rare naturalistic paintings, which are concentrated in the northern region, are attributed, like their counterparts elsewhere in southern and central Africa, to the Late Stone Age. The later sequence of schematic styles, between which and the naturalistic paintings some chronological overlap can be demonstrated, is attributed to the Iron Age, and evidence is quoted to link many examples with religious and social ceremonies. The schematic art developed, particularly in the east, into a group of crude white paintings whose execution has continued into recent times.
