MSc., Faculty of Science, University of Witwatersrand, 2011 / Studies of San rock art in southern Africa have appealed to researchers for specificities of
individual rock art sites in order to counter the prevailing practice of conceptualising San
rock art as a homogenous entity. This research attempts to analyse social interaction through
looking at diverse ethnographies and how such ethnographies can reveal information
regarding one rock art site. Individual rock art sites like Xoro Gwai can start to unravel the
nuanced, diverse and complex nature of San religious beliefs and rites and how these beliefs
were affected or influenced by social contact with other social formations.
