Petroglyphs — images carved on stone — have been found in the Zarautsoy, Teshiktosh, Obirahmat caves, as well as in the Chimgan, Chatkal, Beldersay, and Sarmishsay districts. They depict hunting scenes, wild animals, human figures, as well as elements of religious and secular ideas of the primitive society.

According to archaeologists, there are about 250 rock art monuments in the territory of Uzbekistan, of which more than 1300 are known in Central Asia. 267 petroglyphs were recorded in Zarautsoy, 822 in Siypantash.

Some of them were created using ochre — a natural pigment obtained from red clay mixed with animal fat. These images are particularly vulnerable and are endangered due to weather conditions and human activity.
