Rock art is common in the Arabian peninsula and the southern Syrian desert but where related inscriptions are absent, most carvings are difficult to date. Recent excavations at Dhuweila, a Neolithic site in eastern Jordan, have uncovered carved stones incorporated into structures in securely dated levels. The distinctive style of the carvings makes it possible to link them on stylistic grounds with many other rock carvings in the vicinity of the site. The carvings are mostly of animals, many of them probably gazelle. There are also some abstract and anthropomorphic motifs. Discovery of such securely dated rock art has important implications for the study of other engravings elsewhere in Arabia
