Biographical history
Brief description of site: A large boulder at the corner of Milima hill. One side is extensively overhung but surface is very uneven and rough, this has not been painted. Pictographs found on two flat, vertical, surfaces adequately protected by small overhangs on another side of boulder. Shaded seating possible in a number of places and limited shelter under larger overhang. Looking into trees and other rocks, easily accessible.
Brief description of art: Many and varied. Including: a large curving horizontal sausage shape with multiple internal vertical divisions. Many concentric circles, some overlapping, some with lines or short rows of dots radiating from their base, some with lines radiating all around. Also two horizontally stretched circles with a single internal division and lines radiating downwards which are joined at their base. Also various sets of parallel lines, both vertical and horizontal. All except sausage shape applied by brush in red. Brushed motifs similar in nature to motifs found at ZAM-MWA50, ZAM-MWA50, ZAM-MWA50. In a few motifs there is a suggestion of an original white filling in between the red lines, the uncertainty stems from the possibility that the white stains may be caused by water and pigment reacting.
