Field Research of Rock Art Sites. Topographic Survey and Indexing of Petroglyphs
Abstract
Field research of petroglyphs is the most important stage in the process of studying rock art. The article is devoted to the issues of indexing and topographic survey of objects. Topolandscape characteristics of petroglyphs at different levels of their localization largely determine their semantics. Analysis of the height and spatial parameters of planes with petroglyphs helps to solve the issues of dating images. This method does not require sophisticated equipment; effective for exploration and stationary research of rock art objects. The main principles are fixing the horizontal contour and vertical profiles of the rock, linking petroglyphs with them.
The proposed methods can be used for research purposes and in the preparation of documentation for registration in the State Catalog of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Russian Federation.
