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.
