This report focuses on a group of petroglyphs that were recently discovered and documented near the village of Zarabag in the Sherabad District (south Uzbekistan). Although the prehistoric and early medieval petroglyphs rank among the most well‑known and studied phenomena in the archaeology of Central Asia, they have been virtually unknown in south Uzbekistan. The group consists of 42 individual stones with rock art that have been recently found, carefully documented and preliminarily analysed. This paper offers a brief description of the site, and of the individual petroglyphs, their basic typology and preliminary dating as well as a spatial analysis.
