> > I have tagged a variety of well known art sites in Kakadu. > I have tagged them as historic=archeological site, documented here <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Darchaeological_site> and that is clearly approriate. Also tagged as tourism=artwork documented here <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism=artwork> and I believe this to be appropriate as they constitute public art with touristic significance - you travel as a tourist to this area and a major drawcard is the rock art. They are in the public space.
The issue about the sacred-ness -it is not the job of OSM to make this call. If you think an item is too private to map (perhaps such as a farmers internal road network) then don't map it. Tthis is the mappers call. I don't understand the discussion about rock shelters. They are a creation of nature and happen everywhere. Who cares whether you cook in them or merely seek shelter from the weather. I would suggest creating rock art takes more than a day and therefore they were all cooking sites. Ancient art in its pure manifestation is of historic significance as well as fascinating to many people. > > > Are you only tagging those sites that are open & already advertised as > > tourism sites? > > > > I think that would be the safest way of doing it, because they are > > considered sacred sites, so we should be taking care to not show the > > location of things that the local peoples may not want shown? > > > > The ones I've seen mapped so far are well signposted and marked out, widely > accepted as public knowledge. > -------------- next part -------------- > >
