Rock Art near Victoria, Grenada
Rock Art near Victoria, Grenada submitted by MikeShort : Pre-Contact petroglyphs, Victoria, Grenada, Caribbean. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cup and Ring marks / Rock Art in Grenada, Lesser Antilles, Caribbean. On the south side of the small town of Victoria on the West coast of Grenada on the sea shore against the concrete sea wall of the main road and close to an angle in the sea wall next to a small under-road culvert. Site is about 100 metres from the first building on the sea shore side of the road when entering from the South.

Boulder with two carvings from the Pre-Contact (Pre-Columbian) period. Dating is the subject of much debate but said to correspond to the Late Troumassoid / Suazoid period (ceramaic dating periods) approximately 900-1100AD, but possibly earlier. This is despite the fact that imagery on ceramics of those periods significantly differ from imagery on rock art but the theory has recently been advanced by Henry Petitjean Roget that ceramic art was executed by women and rock art by men.

About 50m further South on the opposite side of the road, there is said to be a further carving in a small cave high above the road. The cutting of the soft rock face during road widening and subsequent slippage has made access impossible except with a very long ladder.
