      History

      Brief description of site: The site consists of two small friezes, hidden in maze of passages between rocks on the south-east side of Chama hill. Frieze A is a poorly protected section of a rock face, clearly visible to anyone walking along this passage. Frieze B is directly opposite, under a low overhang, almost at ground level and visible only to those lying on the ground. Neither have shelter or views.
      Brief description of art: Frieze A contains faint remains of animal depictions, one above the other (ZAM-MWW29), probably antelopes. All filled, applied by brush, in red. The heads extend off the side of the rock face and the body is given prominence and is exaggerated in size. Frieze B comprises a few dots applied by finger in dark red.
