While the array of dates obtained (which range from c. 1200 to c. 25 000 BP) show a satisfactory correlation with other archaeological data, there are mismatches which suggest that some motifs were often imitated by later artists, and/or that the mineral accretions continued to form periodically, perhaps continuously, as a regional phenomenon over a long period of time.Keywords: dating method; Holocene; Pleistocene; rock art Australia; Holocene; Pleistocene; Quinkan; Rock art20052015-12-11
