Abstract

This paper reviews current developments in microerosion analysis, including the testing of a universal calibration curve based on regional precipitation. This enables the use of the method in regions that are unlikely to provide suitable calibration surfaces. The paper also considers the creation of the archive of the International Centre of Rock Art Dating, and the need for it to facilitate the testing of rock art age estimates.
