Abstract

We report an unusual example of rock engravings in an open context in the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea. The highly weathered assemblage comprised a cluster of two “cup and ring” motifs with at least eight additional cup marks pecked on a small basalt boulder located on the summit of Ambra Crater (also Mt. Ambra), a potentially significant place because it has provided an elevated viewpoint across the denuded Upper Wahgi Valley landscape for millennia.

安布拉陨石坑上的杯痕:巴布亚新几内亚西部高地的一个新的雕刻地点
我们报告了一个不寻常的例子,岩石雕刻在一个开放的背景下,在巴布亚新几内亚的高地地区。这个高度风化的组合由两个“杯形和环状”图案组成,在位于Ambra火山口(也是安布拉山)山顶的一个小玄武岩巨石上至少有八个额外的杯形标记,这是一个潜在的重要地点,因为它提供了一个俯瞰剥蚀的上瓦吉山谷景观的高架视角。

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
