BACK TO ROCK ART PAPER 2- PAGE 1 A short paper that may be regarded as a sequel to this paper on Rosario in which it is suggested that two inverted bird petroglyphs near Arica, Chile, represent instances of imitation of earlier rock art symbolism possibly borrowed from bird imagery at Rosario.
This web page features a collection of rock art from Rosario other than bird petroglyphs. Click the back-arrow to return to Rock Art Paper 2.
