Résumé
Since 2005 the “Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project” has been working on the rock art sites from Gharb Aswan and Wadi Abu Subeira. Many are the localities recorded up until now, mainly along the river and on wadi bottoms. The representations are dated from prehistory to the Islamic Period and show a variety of subjects : wild animals, cattle, boats, camels, human fi gures etc. Hereafter three of those sites will be described in detail : two are located in Gharb Aswan, midway between Aswan and Kubbaniya and the third is located south of Wadi Abu Subeira.
