South American and Caribbean Petroglyphs

C.N. Dubelaar (1917), who studied Dutch language and literature, worked as a teacher and researcher in the Netherlands and Suriname for nearly forty years. He has previously published on Surinam Negro folktales and on the Afaka script, an indigenous syllabic script of the Djuka Negroes in Suriname. He took a degree in general linguistics at the Catholic University of Nijmegen in 1971 and was awarded a Ph.D. by the University of Leiden in 1984. This study is an updated and revised version of his doctoral dissertation.
