Bawinanga
Rock Art Recording Project
The Eastern Kunwinjku people of Western and Central Arnhem Land live
traditional lives on outstations or homeland centres in the Mann, Cadell and Liverpool
Rivers district south of the coastal Arnhem Land community of Maningrida in the Northern
Territory. In 1992, members of neighboring clans expressed an interest in mining companies
for exploration proposals. As a consequence, the Eastern Kunwinjku decided that it was
time to start documenting their extensive rock art sites so that balanda (the Aboriginal
word for people of European descent) would understand the need to protect such places.
Chauvet Cave
On 17 January 1995, the Minister of Culture and Francophony, Jacques
Toubon, announced the exceptional archaeological discovery of a decorated cave. It
incorporates several very large galleries that accommodate more than 300 paintings and
engravings dating to the Paleolithic era (between 32,000 and 30,000 years ago). These
works depict a unique and diverse menagerie among which rhinoceroses, felines, bears,
owls, and mammoths. The discovery was made in December of 1994 at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in the
Ardèche region of France.

Graduate Studies in Rock Art at
University of Southampton, UK
The MA in the Anthropology and Archaeology of Rock Art is intended for
graduates in archaeology, anthropology and art history, and other related disciplines. The
aim of the course is to provide students with the necessary skills to pursue further
research in the field of rock art studies. The course can also be seen as an end in itself
for students seeking an overview of rock art research, past and present. It not only
provides an advanced theoretical and methodological background to the study of rock art,
but also creates an awareness of contemporary concerns and ethical issues, such as
indigenous rights, and the presentation and management of rock art sites. The Faculty's MA
structure allows students to take courses from a wide variety of options, enabling them to
develop their own particular interest in rock art.
Inscription
Rock Site
Inscription Rock, on the south shore of Kelleys Island, is marked with
prehistoric Indian pictographs. The flat-topped limestone slab displays carvings of
animals and human figures. Discovered partly buried in the shoreline in 1833, the 32 feet
by 21 feet rock is now entirely exposed. Much eroded by the elements, it is now protected
by a roof and viewing platform. Archaeologists believe the inscriptions date from sometime
between AD 1200 and 1600.
Leo

inscriptions.

Markers
Many examples of sunlight interacting with petroglyphs in a distinctive
way have been found. Often these interactions occur on astronomically significant days.

examining a large number of observations will give insights into the astronomical
knowledge of ancient peoples and the implications of certain iconography.
