Dakhleh Oasis Project, Petroglyph Unit: seasons 2012 and 2013

Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

In the 2012 and 2013 seasons the Petroglyph Unit concentrated on two major assignments: first, recording rock art sites in the Central Oasis, in the area of the so-called Painted Wadi and in adjoining areas, either unexplored or only partly explored earlier, and second, locating again and documenting Winkler’s sites 66 and 67, both in the eastern part of the Oasis. These two sites are of mostly homogeneous, Neolithic origin, while rock art recorded in the Central Oasis dates from the Neolithic through very recent times.<br/><br/>
