In Jordan, Bedouins are preserving ancient rock art with an app

Atlas Obscura reported that in 2005, Niccole Cerveny, now a professor of geography at Mesa Community College in Arizona, finished her doctoral degree. During her studies, she created the Rock Art Stability Index, or RASI. It was designed to be a simple, quick way to assess how damaged or eroded rock art anywhere in the world was, and thereby help local communities to understand what needed to be protected. Now an app has been developed that digitizes RASI and makes it more efficient. Each RASI entry can be quickly uploaded to a private database.
