First dating of Pilbara petroglyphs - Robert G. Bednarik
The first attempts at scientific dating of petroglyphs in the Pilbara region of Western Australia are reported. Using microerosion analysis, a calibration curve has been established on the basis of a series of engraved historical dates, which is then used to estimate the ages of several petroglyphs. petroglyphs. The results indicate that some of these are of Pleistocene antiquity. The consistency of the preliminary results of this project with observations made elsewhere in Australia and abroad is noted.
