We present here the results obtained in the course of study of Sook Tyt the petroglyphic occurrence in the south of Russian Altai. The numerous asynchronous rock carvings are found side by side with each other on the rocks of Chagan River valley. Often the latest images overlap and add the earlier, carved thousands years ago. Many figures renewed time after time and were included to new composition. The images concentrate on the tops of highlands, which down to the river in the form of a few rows. We carried out the photo-fixation of the rock surfaces with use of digital-still full-frame format camera and, than graphically rendered the surfaces with images, made by different techniques. We applied the photography of separate fragments and further montage to the single “photo-model ” whose size is many times as large, than original. It gave an opportunity to examine the details in computer, using the high magnification, and to carry out the graphical digital-still presentation on the ground of the received “photomontage ”. The received results demonstrate the productivity of this method for documentation of petroglyphs, especially superfine engravings. We publish the draw of two multi-figured compositions, dated to Bronze Age, and medieval engravings from the one of the hilltops. It contains the subject of hunting with bow and arrows, united by common significs. Details of horse and deer images as well as weapon and hunting equipment are similar to petroglyphs of Mongolian Altai. The Early medieval animal figures, slain by an arrow, and archer were engraved near the figures, knocking out on the rock in Bronze Age. The hunting subjects are typical of Altaian rock art from Bronze Age to present time.
