Abstract

A survey conducted in May 2018 in Fangcheng County, China, has systematically recorded and studied five site complexes including 21 rock art panels with over 250 petroglyphs, mainly consisting of cupules, and has secured nine microerosion age estimates ranging from late Neolithic to early Post-Ancient Era, by profitably utilising the Deyunshan calibration coefficient for quartz provided by the 2014 expedition.
