Conlin questions the long-held assumption that the friezes' sculptors were anonymous Greek masters, directly influenced by the reliefs carved on the Parthenon. Through close analysis of the sculptures, Conlin demonstrates that the carvers of the large processional friezes were actually Italian-trained sculptors influenced by both native and Hellenic stonecarving practices. Her conclusions rest on a systematic examination of the evidence left on the marble by the sculptors themselves - the traces of tool marks, the carving of specific details, and the compositional formulas of the friezes.

In 2011, retired doctor Hal Young discovered perfectly preserved prehistoric stone sculptures that revealed a pictorial history of the Pleistocene epoch in Albemarle County, Virginia. With 188 color photos, 3 illustrations, 1 map, and index, Stone Revelations of the Last Ice Age documents a world many thought never existed, displaying sculptures of over 35 ice age species and at least 10 unprecedented examples of human faces. The book features ancient artwork that is an astonishing testimony to the earliest human occupation of North America. These ancient artifacts offer insight to many unsolved mysteries of the last ice age, the First People, and extinct megafauna. It's the only book of its kind on the market to include incredible new findings on the Pleistocene epoch. Stone Revelations is a must read for anyone interested in archaeology and North American prehistory.
