Cupule and meander petroglyph on a boulder at the Auditorium Cave, Bhimbetka, Madhya Pradesh, India (c.290,000-700,000 BCE). Bhimbetka Petroglyphs (290,000-700,000 BCE) Cupules at Auditorium Cave & Daraki-Chattan Rock Shelter The oldest known is the series of discovered during the 1990s in two ancient quartzite caves in India: the Auditorium Cave at Bhimbetka and a rock shelter at Daraki-Chattan.
This consists of numerous - non-utilitarian hemispherical cup-shaped depressions - hammered out of the rock surface. Geological investigations of the prehistoric sites by renowned archeologists Bednarik, Kumar and others, have established that this pre-dates the Acheulean culture of the Lower Paleolithic era, and must therefore date from at least 290,000 BCE.
