Twyfelfontein 534 XIII

• Fub Westliche Berehangus “H”

Brief description of site: This site is located on the lowermost slopes, 600 m contour on the southern side of the watercourse that flows from the valley sides. There is a nice level area with large rock bloc associated in a natural rock amphitheatre. . Has a good view of the dominant massive engraved rock block at NAM TWT9 and also of NAM TWT10.

There seem to be small pockets of softer deposit among rock blocs but the main living area has both been picked clean by visitors and by the construction of the tourist path. Water also washes down here occasionally, carrying cultural material with it.
Brief description of art: There are a number of large rock blocs - at least 10 that bear rock engravings, almost all of which seem to be Bushman-authored and number at least 120 images.

Spoor rock: The most visually spectacular and densely engraved rock that is dominated by two huge 480 mm x 390 mm spoor - probably rhinoceros. There is a lot of other spoor engraved such as the 7-toed human footprint, giraffe, antelope and feline, including a 7-toed feline with claws extended. There is also equid, giraffe, rhino and ostrich in pecked-infill technique. There are rough pecked-outline circles with central cupules and a fine pecked-infill upside-down bird such as is pecked at NAM TWT9.

Giraffe rock: At the tip of a long, horizontal needle-like rock, one of the many that encircle the amphitheatre, is a very nice giraffe engraved with several others in pecked-outline and pecked-infill.

Large titled spoor bloc: This location is upslope and north of the main spoor rock on a vast sloping surface. There is a large giraffe spoor here and some rough pecked-outline giraffe (2) near rhino, one of which has a very long horn. There are two possible human figures.

Other imagery: Less densely scattered about on rocks are engravings of antelope, giraffe, ?jackal, oryx, ostrich, rhino a possible wildebeest and zebra. Spoors abound along with some more rough pecked-outline circles and geometric motifs. Rhino are dominant.
