description This study deals with recording of two complexes of petroglyphs at Ghermez Kamar and Dowzdaghi in the northern part of Iranian Azerbaijan in north-western Iran. The assemblage of Dowzdaghi divides into four sub-assemblages, designs and images on the surfaces of isolated boulders, mostly constituting panels and sometimes individual motifs and inscriptions. The investigations have revealed more than 400 pounded and scratched drawings on rock boulders of Dowzdaghi Mountain. The Ghermez Kamar complex contains about one hundred motifs pounded or scratched on boulders that are located behind the Dowzdaghi Mountain on a slope of a mountain named Ghermez Kamar. The main themes of the two complexes are anthropomorphous and zoomorphic figures, and Arabic and Persian inscriptions. [Publication Abstract]
