During archaeological research, especially in the study of the historical and Islamic periods, the focus is on kings’ palaces, religious buildings and famous artists. Ordinary people are generally ignored. This means that all people of every social class should be studied to understand past societies. Petroglyphs are one of the most significant archaeological types of evidence to study ordinary people’s art and concerns. During an archaeological survey conducted by the author in Bavanat county, several petroglyphs were found in this area. Considering the importance of rock art in archaeology, anthropology, sociology, the history of art and rock art tourism, in this article, the petroglyphs of Sangbor that were discovered during the survey of Bavanat have been introduced. At this site several petroglyphs are identified on the rock outcrops in the area. Zoomorphs, anthropomorphs, geometric shapes, and unknown shapes are depicted. Petroglyphs were created by three methods: engraving, engraving-pounding and scratching. According to the amount of patination and weathering, the above petroglyphs were created during different periods. Natural factors such as rock erosion, wind and rain have gradually destroyed these rock art. In addition to preserving rock art sites like Sangbor, they can become a tourist attraction for rock art or cultural tourism.

The Ilam province, includes the western part of the Central Zagros, is less known in terms of rock art and petroglyphs, and no serious research has been done in this field so far. The collection of new Bardah Serkha petroglyphs was created in the middle of Dezan Valley and next to the road that passes through the western terrace wall of the valley. The collection includes 4 petroglyphs. These petroglyphs include two male mountain goats with long horns and linear bodies, shown in detail and moving westward. On the opposite side, two hunters with bows are shown shooting at goats. These two archers are standing and pulling the bow string. The bows in their hands are curved and the two ends to which the string is tied are turned outwards. These bows were common only in the Central Zagros region. Despite the similarities in shape and size with Assyrian and Elamite bows, they are different. Based on the investigations, it is believed that the origin of this type of bow is from Ilam, which has become endemic in this region. The chronology of these petroglyphs is based on the bows in the hands of hunters, which belong to the Iron Age III and contemporary with the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Elamite periods.

Region Amazonii był badany przez różne dyscypliny naukowe i z różnych perspektyw. Naukowcy przeanalizowali organizację społeczną, kosmologię, mitologię, adaptacje ekologiczne i ochronę tropikalnych lasów Amazonii. Jednym z obszarów, które nie zostały wystarczająco uwzględnione, są badania archeologiczne świętych miejsc Amazonii. Dlatego jako temat tych badań wybrano obecność świętych petroglifów w Amazonii Kolumbijskiej. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia stanu badań archeologicznych w kolumbijskiej Amazonii oraz znaczenia świętych petroglifów dla naszego zrozumienia kultury Indian Yucuna. Badania te wykazały, że dane etnograficzne są kluczem do odszyfrowania ważnych archeologicznie świętych petroglifów.

Scientists have studied different aspects of the complex reality of the Amazon Basin. Among the main areas of research are such topics as social organization, cosmology, mythology, ecological adaptations, and conservation of the tropical rainforest. One aspect that has not been addressed sufficiently is the archaeological investigations of the sacred sites of the Amazon. Due to their importance, this is why the sacred petroglyphs were chosen as the topic of our research. This article attempts to present the state of archaeological investigations in the Colombian Amazon and the importance of the sacred petroglyphs for our understanding of the Yucuna Indian culture.
