The earliest information concerning rock carvings in Gemigaya emerged in 1992. The
images found on rock include human beings, goats, aurochs, oxen, deer, etc. 1500
petroglyphs were registered and recorded as a result of the research. Most of the
scenes depict semi-nomadic cults. Ruins of human inhabitance, burials and fragments
of ceramic utensils excavated in Gemigaya provided some clue to the dating of the rock
carvings which ranges from the 4th to the 1st millennium B.C. inclusive. The area
adjacent to Gemigaya was the place for summer-time pastures as of the mid-early
Bronze Age.
