Abstract
A series of surveys conducted in November 2018 and March 2019 in Lianyungang City, China, has systematically recorded and studied four site complexes including nine rock art panels with over 280 petroglyphs mainly consisting of cupules, 11 standing stones and one inscription. Researchers have secured 14 microerosion age estimates ranging from the 1st century BCE to the 14th century CE, by profitably utilising the universal calibration coefficient for quartz.
