This should be documented clearly. Whilst there is a lot of well known art work, there are a significant number of sacred areas that should not be mapped or identified due to the cultural significance. We only need one person transgressing due to OSM to cause offence. I have just worked with the local owners during an emergency and it is amazing the amount of artifacts that were identified that could disappear if mapped accurately by trophy hunters.
