The Most Ancient Rock Art in the Writings of the Academician A. P. Okladnikov. Methodological Aspect of the Semantic Analysis
Abstract
Academician A. P. Okladnikov made an important contribution to the study of the Siberian and Central Asian rock art in the middle of the XX century. In the beginning of the 1960s the scientist became a founder of archaeological center in Novosibirsk. The study of the rock art has become a priority area in this center.
Ambitious and complex researches on the ancient rock art made by A. P. Okladnikov reveal themselves in full measure through the historical analysis.
In considering the most ancient rock paintings, the scientist includes the sematic analysis of the images and compositions as a mandatory part. Moreover, on his opinion, the ideological foundations could be a supporting factor in determining their cultural and chronological definition. It is clear that the analysis of the possible ideological conceptions, concluded in the research subject, provides an insight into the unknown ancient world.
In the writings of A. P. Okladnikov this section has a clear structure, which is consequence of the extensive knowledge in the related scientific fields. And most important, the scientist made a methodological framework for the semantic analysis. Semantics and approach to the understanding is the complex and multifaceted issue. It is isolated but still very actual topic.
