Abstract

The Dâureb, Namibias highest mountain, is one of the most extensively documented rock art regions in the world. However, the rock engravings found in the lower Dome Gorge, on the south-western part of the mountain, remained relatively un-researched. The study aims at describing the rock art of the Dome Gorge, hereby establishing statistical and stylistic distributional patterns. It mainly focusses on describing the sites where combinations of engravings and paintings occur in the same sites (mixed sites).
