*Rock Art on the Radio Starts on Sunday 3 February

*Starts on Sunday 3 February, 14.45 - 15.00 on BBC Radio 4

Over a series of five programmes, archaeologist Dr George Nash of 
Bristol University visits five rock art sites in England, Wales, 
Ireland, Portugal and Italy, to attempt to unravel the real, hidden 
meaning of rock art.
Who creates rock art, and why? Can our present day graffiti artists 
provide some clues?

Join George Nash on for the first episode of The Drawings on the Wall on 
3 February as he investigates the mysterious Legless Ladies of Creswell 
Crags.

The second episode on 10 February involves the the prehistoric tribal 
rock carvings under threat of being lost under the waters of a proposed 
reservoir in the Coa Valley, Portugal.

On 17 February George Nash visits Ireland to see a very early example of 
graffiti at the Four Knocks Burial Chamber.

Italian archaeologists show George Nash round the biggest rock art area 
in Europe. There are an astonishing 300,000 prehistoric carvings within 
commuting distance of Milan. Join them on 24 February.

And George's travels end on 2 March at Barclodiady-Gawres Neolithic 
burial chamber in Anglesey, to see the rock carvings accidentally 
discovered in 2004 by students.
