We report an unusual example of rock engravings in an open context in the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea. The highly weathered assemblage comprised a cluster of two “cup and ring” motifs with at least eight additional cup marks pecked on a small basalt boulder located on the summit of Ambra Crater (also Mt. Ambra), a potentially significant place because it has provided an elevated viewpoint across the denuded Upper Wahgi Valley landscape for millennia.

安布拉火山口上的杯印:巴布亚新几内亚西部高地的新雕刻地点

我们在巴布亚新几内亚高地地区的开放环境中报告了一个不寻常的岩石雕刻示例。高度风化的组合由一组两个“杯环”图案组成,在位于安布拉火山口(也是安布拉山)顶部的一块小玄武岩巨石上啄出至少八个额外的杯形标记,这是一个潜在的重要地方,因为它提供了数千年来,在光秃秃的上瓦吉河谷景观中的高处观景台。
