The rock art in Paraguay are primarily petroglyphs, or rock carvings, in the so-called "footprints style", which consists of both zoomorphic and anthropomorphic representations. Almost all carvings in Paraguay were made with lithic technology and represent geometric, human and celestial figures. This style of engraving generally leaves deep and wide images (one centimeter or more) due to the repetition of hard rock flakes like silicified sandstone on softer sedimentary sandstone. These petroglyphs have been identified by archaeologists in rock shelters located in the mountain ranges of Yvytyrusu (Guairá Department) and Amambay (Department of Amambay). There are reports of rock art in other parts of the country, but these sites have not been officially inventoried yet.
