Southern Africa's first stenciled rock art discovered
Original: Southern Africa's first known stenciled rock art found hiding in plain sight
Researchers have identified Southern Africa's first known stenciled rock art, a technique where objects or hands are sprayed with pigment to leave a negative image. The find, reported by scientists writing in a new study, was long overlooked despite being visible at the site. It suggests stencil techniques, well known from Australia and elsewhere, were practiced far more widely than previously believed.
Why now: The discovery reshapes what is known about prehistoric artistic techniques in the region
