In the last few years, a large number of petroglyphs and pictograms have been identified in Iran (Ghasimi 2007a; Ghasimi and Mohammadi Ghasrian 2011), including in Kurdistan province. This province in the west of Iran has a special place in archaeological studies. On the west, it borders Mesopotamia, on the north West Azerbaijan province, on the south, central Zagros, and in the east Hamadan and Zanjan provinces. The archaeological studies of this province are less developed than those of their neighbouring areas, but studies of rock art motifs have been better processed, and many researchers have introduced Kurdistan rock art (Lahafian 2004, 2010; Ghasimi 2007b). The research deals with ‘identified’ rock motifs, cupules and analytical issues (Mohammadi Ghasrian 2007).
