Examples of rock engravings by agriculturists have been known from various parts of South Africa for many years, but there has been no previous attempt to review the genre as a whole. This review establishes a clear link with communities who built extensive stone settlements in the last few centuries of the precolonial period. The subject matter and its treatment differentiates the art from the well known hunter-gatherer art of southern Africa and links it with the cosmology of agriculturists
