The vast spaces of the Karoo abound with images pecked, incised or
engraved onto rock surfaces. These landscape markings, generally
known simply as 'rock engravings', were created in the pre-colonial
period by San hunter-gatherers who roamed this land in search of
sustenance and water. Their engravings most commonly (though not
always) depict animals such as eland, quagga or elephant, and
reflect, in fascinating and unusual ways, the relationship of the
San to the harsh environment of the Karoo. San Rock Engravings
explores the visual legacy of these ancient artists, the signs they
left on the land and the meanings that could be attached to them.
