Abstract
Techniques for recording rock art are extremely varied. Although most people agree on the need to combine the use of photography, drawing and verbal description, there is an enormous variation in how photos, drawings, notes etc. Are produced in the field, and how they are reproduced in publication and for archives. This paper discusses the various methods of recording rock art, in particular the questions of standardization and whether there is a best method. See also AATA 16-840.
