Abstract: | The authors present descriptions and photographs of the rock painting sites in Mauritania they visited in 2004: Guilemsi in the western periphery of the Sahara, where the earlier art is almost certainly less than 3000-4000 years old, and three sites in the Ayoun District, dating from c. 4000 BP to AD 700. The authors also pay attention to the artists and the meaning of the art. Bibliogr. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
