Biographical history
Brief description of site: A large recessed shelter on the lower slopes of Bunda hill east side. Very well protected and large enough to make a good habitation site for a family group (floor area over 30m²). Extensive soot deposits on ceiling suggest that it has been regularly used. Depending on vegetation may have had a fair view into stream valley and beyond.
Brief description of art: Many traces of white pictographs on ceiling all severely blackened by soot. Include: various spread-eagled motifs, a meandering snake-like line, a few dots, a circle with a single internal vertical division, and a small human-like design that looks like a depiction of a baby. All daubed in white. At entrance to shelter is an area of massed dots applied by finger in red.
