Gunn, Robert and David, Bruno and Whear, Ray and James, Daniel and Petchey, Fiona and Chalmin, Emilie and Castets, Geraldine and Barker, Bryce and Geneste, Jean-Michel and Delannoy, Jean-Jacqes (2017) Postcards from the outside: European-contact rock art imagery and occupation on the southern Arnhem Land Plateau, Jawoyn lands.

Abstract
This chapter explores [the] incongruity in the distribution of Western-contact motifs contrasting northwestern and southwestern Arnhem Land in relation to the rich corpus of other kinds of rock art on the plateau. We stress from the onset that while images of ‘Western-contact art’ derive from a wide variety of responses to outsider influences, and include imagery that employs conventions akin and often indistinguishable to those of the pre–Western contact period, in this chapter we restrict our discussion to images of introduced objects and demonstrably foreign
peoples.
