Title: Scientific Reinvestigation of the rock art at Gua Tambun, Perak. Vol 2: Inventory of Rock Art
Date: April 2010

Abstract: This volume is a catalogue of all 640 rock art elements recorded at Gua Tambun during the course of this study and serves as a visual record of the rock art at Gua Tambun as of 2009. It may prove to be a valuable reference for future researchers for comparisons with other rock art found in the region, and in tracking the effects of weathering and deterioration of individual paintings at the site. The rock art is distributed into 11 panels, labelled A - K, with the largest panel, Panel C, being further divided into 22 sub-panels. The rock art in each panel are numbered sequentially, generally from left-to-right and top to bottom. In most cases, each element was recorded with an IFRAO standard scale; in visual records where no scale is present, an approximate scale was drawn into the digital tracing. However, there were no direct or indirect measurements taken from Panels B, I and J due to their physical inaccessibility. For these panels, a reference measurement was estimated from one element and then transposed onto the rest of the elements.
