A tool that allows for rapid assessment of rock art vulnerability, RASI has been designed for use by college students, rock art volunteers, and archaeologists. It requires a minimum amount of training yet provides a replicable system for assessing observable physical conditions of rock art sites. See the in-depth introduction for more, and the RASI Atlas for detailed examples.

Completing the RASI for a rock art site results in a score of instability severity, enabling site managers to establish rational priorities for site management, while also producing finer-detailed analyses associated with conservation and preservation projects. Further, by integrating results for individual sites in a geographic information system (GIS) database, it will be possible to determine which sites are in greatest danger for a specific region or a state.

This site focuses on integrating RASI into K-16 curriculum. It also outlines samples of online training and core modules to be developed, as well as recent findings related to learning RASI and integration of RASI into K-12 curriculum.
