Schroda I 46 MS
Site

Brief description of site: This site is a high, deep cave with a deeper inner cave. The images are situated above the entrance to the inner cave. The view from the cave is extensive. The presence of a nearby dam suggests the presence of a fairly reliable watercourse in times past.

The site has some bone scatter, as well as quartzite and hornfels lithics. The soil is very stony, but the deposit is about 50cm deep.
Brief description of art: The engravings on the cave wall consist of grooves reminiscent of slash marks. They occur in three parts of the cave and number 5, 6 and 89 at each location respectively. Their length varies between 5-20cm, and they are up to 3cm wide. They appear very smoothly executed, but are patinated.

The painted imagery consists of a large grouping of finger dots as well as some finger painted red lines. Curious images include a large red 'sunburst' with short 'rays' around the outline and a cross motif at its centre. A finger painted white sunburst is much more faded.
