Eh? Laser survey to detect them? How on earth were they carved if you can't even see them?
A combination of difficulty carving on sarsen and erosion. ?
This. Light carvings made several thousand years ago, its a wonder we can detect them at all.
It 'suggests' more drawing then carving possibly?
Definitely engraved Roy , although most are shallow an axe and dagger on stone 53 are quite "deep" .
Yes I should have said engraving rather than drawing George. The Stone 53 example is one of the more well-known isn't it and more of a carving I suppose.
Stone 53 has the previously recognised carving /engraving plus more recently discovered shallow stuff as well as various types of dressing and much later graffiti .
