| Background |
| Site Description | Feature 001 is a piece of rock art on the rock shelter. It has an intricate design that combines carvings and the application of red ochre paintings.
The central image includes two anthropomorphic motifs on top of a boat. In the middle of the boat are two vertical lines and a perpendicular line atop them. One figure on the stern holds the paddle of the boat. There is a large rooster underneath the boat; another stands on top of the prow. These images are carved on the wall and partly outlined and painted with red ochre pigment.
On the northern end of the wall is a row of five anthropomorphic figures, which are half-body figures with a head cap. A pair of motifs with a shape that resembles half of the human body are found on the lower corner of the wall. The notched outlines of these motifs are also painted with red ochre pigment.
Other distinct forms of motifs across the wall include: a triangular shape marked by a pair of vertical lines in the middle, an X-shape, circular cupules, three-tiered inverted triangular figures connected to another triangular shape underneath, human stick figures, and other unidentified motifs. On the southern end of the wall, there is a crescent-shaped boat engraved with traces of red ochre pigment. | |
| Project Description | The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey works to systematically inventory and digitally document the endangered cultural heritage in the Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand and elswhere across the region. The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats that jeopardize the survival and accessibility of historical information for this vital node in pre-modern global economic and religious networks at the cross-roads of an interconnected Indian Ocean world. The data made available here was collected by our Field Team using FARO Focus S350 terrestrial laser scanner, Nikon DSLR camera, and DJI drone platform. | |
