Due to space restrictions, the photographs that accompany this section are on a dedicated Gallery website at
www.rockart.cd2.com I eventually hope to incorporate those pages into this site.

The Eastern Desert sites covered by this Gallery are Winkler’s Sites 4, 24b and 26, as well as other sundry Pharaonic inscriptions from elsewhere in the Wadi Hammamat.  They represent only a tiny sample of the rock art of the Eastern Desert, but serve to offer an idea of what is there and what it looks like. For detailed survey projects, with extensive photographs from a large number of locations, see Rohls (2000) and Morrow and Morrow (2002). Additional photographs can be found online, which you can find on the Links page.

There are also photographs from the First Cataract of rock art samples which have been removed from their original contexts due to the flooding of Nubia to create Lake Nasser.  As far as I know, these are unprovenanced and are to be found today at New Kalabsha and the Nubia Museum.

Finally, on the First Cataract page above, there are examples of rock art type graffiti from the temple of Philae, for comparison.  The temple may provide a useful terminus post quem for these styles of art in this area.
