Rock art has long been neglected as a primary source of information for Predynastic Egypt. Fortunately, interest has picked up strongly for the last twenty years, resulting in numerous publications. However, recent studies tend to focus on the presentation of newly-(re)discovered rock art scenes and sites.In-depth presentations are both infrequent and mostly restricted to rock art itself. Although comparisons haveoften been made with the iconography on decorated pottery and other objects found in Predynastic cemeteries,the aim was, in many cases, to establish the chronological position of the rock art scenes.
