Southern Africa's first known stenciled rock art found hiding in plain sight

A phys.org report on newly identified stenciled rock art in Southern Africa — the region's first known example of the technique, in which pigment is sprayed around an object to leave its silhouette. The discovery suggests the practice was present far earlier and more widely than previously documented, and that some of it sat unrecognized in plain view.
