Surveys conducted in June and October 2015 in the Chinese regions of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Guangxi and Henan have focused on the scientific potential of nu-merous rock art sites to yield forensic and dating evidence. The work was a continuation of the two successful 2014 campaigns in several provinces. It resulted in the first rock art age es-timation in Inner Mongolia and demonstrated the Neolithic age of petroglyphs in the Chifeng area, and it also produced several new, comparatively recent dates from Henan Province petroglyphs.
2015年6月和10月，在中国新疆、内蒙古、宁夏、广西和河南等地区的多次调查着重关注于众多岩画遗址在提供法医学和测年证据方面的潜力。这项工作是2014年在几个省份成功开展的两次活动的延续。此次调查获得了首个内蒙古岩画的年代数据，并证明了赤峰地区的岩刻画产生于新石器时代。此外，还从河南省岩刻画中获取了若干全新的、相对晚近的年代数据。
