Archaeological documents are the most important source for the periods when there were no written documents. Rock art drawn by human beings are one of these sources. Through these pictures, information about the social, economic, cultural and even sports activities of the period can be obtained. Cildir district, Damlica village and Baskoy stream, which were determined by our team in the light of the surveys, are valuable in this respect in the depictions in the rock art. In our study, information about the origin of traditional sports is given in the light of Baskoy rock art. Suggestions regarding the origin of the javelin and taigan race were made in the light of the depictions on the panel on which the rock art were processed. Our research, in the light of archaeological data, reveals that the origins of traditional sports, which are still played today, are quite old.
