I'm unable to find a specific date range but they were used by hunter gatherers until a change to more pastoral communities in this area around 1000CE. over 2000 engravings have so far been recorded at this site. the main group of engravings are a big tourist attraction, in some instances engravings are being damaged where people touch them as they move through the site and some guides have scraped the engravings to make them show up better!!.
Note: Country is actually Namibia
