Various geometric figures carved on the rock faces outside the walls of Urartian fortresses, mostly in Lake Van Basin, northwestern Anatolia and northwestern Iran, have been identified as “monumental rock signs” Belli 1989; Belli 2001 . The “signs” are generally circular or “V”-, “U”- and sickleshaped, having a width of 10-15 cm and a depth of 4-10 cm Fig. 1 . Usually they appear in groups. Large groups containing signs of approximately uniform size are encountered along with the smaller groups.
