Abstract

As one of the most famous historic sites for rock art, Jiangjunya rock art is in the ecotone of China’s eastern coastal areas, including five groups which are mask, rice pattern, cupules, waffle pattern, and sun image. Among them, the mask is an important link in the mask rock art of Pacific Rim. The systematic investigation on Jiangjunya rock art is the foundation of the study as well as the key to rock art protection. The meticulous records about various images at the historic site of Jiangjunya rock art will provide precious materials for the image analysis on China’s petroglyph and mask of Pacific Rim.
