Pahi Rock Art Site

Pahi Rock Art Site

Pahi rock art site, Kondoa in central Tanzania. One of the series of ancient paintings on rock shelters and hanging slabs of sedimentary rocks. The exact number of rock art sites in the Kondoa area is unknown but it is estimated that there are between 150 and 450 decorated rock shelters, caves and overhanging cliff faces. The sites are located on the steep eastern slopes, an area of spectacular, fractured geological formations, which provided the necessary shelter for the display of paintings. The extensive and dense collection of rock paintings represents and embodies the cultures of both hunter-gatherer and pastoralist communities who have lived in the area over several centuries.
