Although the remarkable antiquity（a building of great antiquity） of Australia`s rock art is now established, the sequences and meanings of its images have been widely debated. Since the mid-1970s, a reasonably stable picture（a description or idea of what something is like） has formed of the organization of Australian rock art.

 In order to create a sense of structure to this picture, researchers have relied on a distinction that still underlies (to be the cause of something) the forms of much indigenous (native) visual culture-a distinction between geometric and figurative elements.

 Simple geometric repeated patterns-circles, concentric circles, and lines-constitute the iconography (the way that a particular people, religious or political group etc. represent ideas in pictures or images) (characteristic images) of the earliest rock-art sites found across Australia. The frequency with which certain simple motifs appear in these oldest sites has led rock-art researchers to adopt a descriptive term-the Panaramitee style-a label which takes its name from the extensive rock pavements at Panaramitee North in desert South Australia, which are covered with motifs pecked into the surface. Certain features of these engravings lead to the conclusion that they are of great age-geological changes had clearly happened after the designs had been made and local Aboriginal informants, when first questioned about them, seemed to know nothing of their origins. Furthermore, the designs were covered with "desert varnish," a glaze that develops on rock surfaces over thousands of years of exposure to the elements. The simple motifs found at Panaramitee are common to many rock-art sites across Australia. Indeed, sites with engravings of geometric shapes are also to be found on the island of Tasmania, which was separated from the mainland of the continent some 10,000 years ago.
