Descrição: A new concentration of rock art consisting of large number of petroglyphs is situated on the hillside of the Mount Eüji-iti in Kirmanshah in central western Iran. According to the subject-matter, iconographic features, style, and patination of some images, it seems that a part of the petroglyphs could be made in a time-span from Bronze Ages to the Iron Ages in first millennium BCE. The paper attempts to establish a bridge between the rock art and the archaeological context of western Iran. Drawing on archaeological evidence, the paper discusses that, at least, a part of the engravings, particularly ibexes, could possibly be of sacred value to its producers.
