Grooves at Nyambwesu shelter. Much thinner, hair-line groves. Some of the circular groves are visible in the top right of the photo, showing that the hairline grooves are particularly thin, likely made with something quite sharp. Most of the grooves are horizontal, roughly in the same direction, however some grooves are perpendicular, cutting across. [FG 24/07/2025]
