Hill (1985) has recently suggested a model of style based on the concept of an element pool from which individual building blocks or elements are selected to create more complex graphical images known as designs. The existence of such an element pool is examined using one class of material containing design information, late prehistoric rock art from the Zuni and Hopi areas. It is expected that the Zuni and Hopi selected elements from different element pools for use in these rock art sites. The Brainerd-Robinson Similarity Coefficient is used to examine this expectation.
