A comparatively inexpensive computerized system of recording, storing, and image enhancing of rock art is described, consisting of a video camera, microcomputer, disc drive, monitor, and display unit. By using an optical disc rather than a video tape the system provides highly efficient archival storage. In addition, digitized pictorial information can be modulated, a possibility that is most advantageous in rock art research. Faded images, or figures that are difficult to recognize, may be discerned with the help of image enhancing methods. The described system could be of benefit to international rock art research, because it would greatly facilitate the exchange of vast amounts of pictorial information. There are also potential possiblities of use in the area of public education. Comment on paper is written by R. G. Bednarik.
