| description | In November 1998 an international team, sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders (Belgium), conducted a rock art survey in the vicinity of El-Hosh in Upper Egypt. A multitude of sites with thousands of petroglyphs was located. Attention was paid mainly to the oldest manifestations of rock art in the area representing intensively patinated, mushroom-shaped, curvilinear and geometric designs, as well as a number of seemingly associated anthropomorphic figures, footprints, and zoomorphs. Several of these drawings were sampled for possible AMS 14C dating. A number of complex rock art panels were recorded in their entirety. In addition, the distribution of the sites has been studied in relationship to the geomorphological particularities of the area. |
