Welcome to the Explore mode

You can explore tree types of record by using the map below or using the side panel that unfolds.

In this database a rock art site is considered:
  • ‘systematic’ when all levels of documentation have been recorded, that is to say Location (Country ˃ Region ˃ Site ˃ Zone) + Support (Rock ˃ Surface) + Art (Motif / Scene);
  • ‘surveyed’ when the level ‘Location’ (Country ˃ Region ˃ Site ˃ Zone) has been recorded;
  • ‘reported’ when no descriptive information is available, but the site’s existence has been reported.
Statistics by type of record are available below the map.

Notes

Each rock art site is composed of 1 zone minimum.

In case a rock art site is composed of one zone systematically documented and (an)other zone(s) surveyed the site is considered as systematic.

For surveyed rock art sites the number of rocks is sometimes known but no further information about the rocks are available.
