Rock Art in Santa Catarina State. Described as "one of the largest and most recognised sites in the southern Brazilian highlands." The inscribed figures include geometic and zoomophic figures.

Originally documented in the 1960's, some researchers (Da Silva, 2001) hypothosize that the art shows continuity between modern indigenous Jê peoples and the creators of this rock art 4000 years ago by parallels between body paint, archaeological ceramic decoration and rock art motifs.

Some figures have black pigment in some areas (which may not be orginal.)

The figures appear to be on a cliff face within sight of the much more famous Avencal waterfall. From tourist websites it appears that the cliff face immediately fronts on a pass with a modern road. There is signage for the location itself and a roadside parking area, but no infomation on the rockart itself.

In this article we evaluate the application of Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM), a technique within Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), to a group of pre-Columbian rock art panels in southern Brazil. Our case study, the Avencal 1 rock art site (Urubici, Santa Catarina state), is one of the largest and most recognised sites in the southern Brazilian highlands. This study is the first detailed analysis of the site since it was recorded five decades ago. The record produced with PTM is more complete when compared with preceding sketches. Furthermore, its utility as a prospection tool is underscored by revealing for the first time the existence of multiple eroded motifs. Interpreting the PTM data, we recognise several new aspects of the panels that have gone unnoticed. Discrepancies between the published plans and the panels are illustrated, as are hypothesised sequences of production for specific panels and multiple techniques of engraving used at Avencal 1. Following our study, it is clear that PTM has applications for both analysis and conservation of pre-Columbian rock art and beyond. This article is accompanied by the dataset produced from our project in Urubici, which is referred to extensively.
