            Kalengo I
            Site
            Brief description of site: It is a relatively medium sized shelter, approximately 8m long. The panels are in the shape of two blade knives at two points of the boulder. The shelter is also concealed between two separate boulders covered in bushes. The shelter looks out towards marshy fields.
            Brief description of art: All the images are in red monochrome outline. The images are also distributed on two panels within the site.
            Kapiri I
            Site
            Brief description of site: This is an impressive shelter with a good commanding view of L. Bisinia, surrounding village and plains. This is part of a large boulder that rests on several small boulders, forming an enclosure. The floor of the shelter is covered with grass, with a large portion slightly raised. The shelter measures approximately 9m long, 7.20m wide.
            Brief description of art: The motifs are in red monochrome as well as white monochrome. All the paintings are in the wash area. There are six red concentric circles and two rayed circles similar to the motifs at UGA-NYE2. The motifs in red and white in between are at the far right end of the shelter panel, and lower edges of the panel surface. The circular images have red lines through them, or through them. The figures appear to have been finger painted.
            Kapiri II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on a small boulder that rests at about a 30° angle on a large granite slab that forms the base. The site consists of two panels, on two sides of the boulder. Panel A is well sheltered from sunshine and measures 8m long and 3.70m wide and 2.15m high. Panel B is difficult to access. Only the nimble footed can get to it. Panel A overlooks lake Bisinia to the east.
            Brief description of art: The motifs appear finger painted in bright red monochrome, thick paste. It is possible that the motifs covered eighty percent of the panel surface, but they have now flaked off. The traces comprise of a rayed concentric circle of creamish red and bright red interspersed. Other motifs in red are indeterminate parts of what were probably concentric circles or other geometric motifs. The changes in colour may be due to a reaction between minerals and the pigment where the original colours were red and white.
            Kobwin I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is overlooking lake Adois. It is an open site that occupies a small area on a large boulder. Beneath the boulder is a small, narrow, deep cave. Only one image is visible and is in the full rays of the sun. The site is unprotected from the rain and is in direct wash area.
            Brief description of art: There is one image, like a comb and is in red monochrome. The image is very faint since it is in direct afternoon to evening sun. The image is not protected from the rain and sits directly within the wash area. This is the same as with most of the sites in the Kumi District.
            Komolo I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is a small open shelter at the base of a very large granite boulder. The site is approximately 6m long, 4m wide and 2.8m high. The site has a drip line of about 2m. The site is located at the edge of cultivated fields.
            Brief description of art: The motifs appear to be finger painted in white monochrome pigment. The soot makes it difficult to clearly see the images. The main image is a geometric portion of what was probably a rayed circular shape with an outline.
            Komolo II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is on the same boulder as UGA-KLM1 is situated. The site is an open site and is exposed to direct sunlight, rain etc.
            Brief description of art: The images are very faded motifs in red monochrome. Traces of paint comprise of one curved line and two incomplete loop shapes that appear to have been finger painted.
            Komuge I
            Site
            Brief description of site: Situated at the base of a small boulder that rests on top of a granite rock base. It measures about 4m long, 4m wide and 9.5m high with a sloping roof that forms an angle of about 45° with the base. The shelter is well protected from direct sunlight and is secluded from the surrounding areas with bushes.
            Brief description of art: Motifs appear finger painted in white monochrome.
            Komuge II
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site comprises of two boulders, one being an outcrop of the other, forming a curve at the base. The shelter measures about 7m x 7.9m x 3m. This spectacular site has a commanding presence over the surrounding flat area.
            Brief description of art: There are several geometric shapes in red, orange and white monochrome pigments. The site appears to have been repeatedly painted from the super positioning of motifs. The geometric shapes are congruent with motifs found in several shelters in eastern and north eastern Uganda. Motifs at this site compromise a dominant rayed triangular shape in white monochrome.
            Komuge III
            Site
            Brief description of site: The site is a small granite boulder resting between two other boulders forming a small cave measuring about 5m long, 4.5m wide and 2.1m high. The entrance is obscured by a small boulder. The shelter is about 100m away from the village but is relatively concealed by thick bushes.
            Brief description of art: The images are slightly visible and localized in the wash area of the panel. The images appear to be finger painted in thick white monochrome pigment. The sides of the motif are washed away or have faded. It is clear that the original motif was geometric in shape.
            Mukongoro-Ekoki I
            Site
            Brief description of site: The images in this shelter are in two clusters which will be labeled as Panel A and Panel B. Panel A consists of three circular images. Panel B slightly 8m to the right of the site has a basic boat like image like UGA-NYE with images connected to the boat mage. All the images are painted in red.
            Brief description of art: The site is on a Southward facing granite rock, on a large Boulder outcrop 12m wide.
