Table 7 Description of compositional subclasses (after [12], p. 100–101 & 218)
From: A multiscalar methodology for holistic analysis of prehistoric rock carvings in Scotland
Compositional subclasses | |
|---|---|
Single | One only motif carved |
Simple | Simple arrangement of a small number of motifs (between 1 and 2) |
Clustered | Motifs are close together or arranged over a limited area (half or less) of the panel |
Prominent Motif | A large motif occupies a central position on the panel due to location or size |
Irregular | Motifs appear dispersed in a random or irregular fashion across the rock surface |
Dispersed | Motifs are widely but evenly distributed |
Dense | A series of motifs are closely located and/or interconnected, covering a large part of the rock surface |
