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。
