Spanish term or phrase: a nivel del surco
Hi translators, I hope you can help me.

I have looked up the word "surco" and have found many options, but I just cannot seem to render it coherently in this particular phrase.

Here is the context:

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer una metodología para el estudio de la tecnología de producción de grabados rupestres. A partir de la definición de una serie de variables se propone un análisis microscópico a nivel del surco que permite definir los atributos de los golpes que dieron origen al petroglifo, permitiendo su sistematización para abordar una variable poco estudiada en este tipo de materialidad. Esta investigación se realizo en el marco del proyecto

  -> Thanks, Neil!
agree  Evans (X): yes, I think groove is a good option, or score. And the rest of the phrase is good, although I'm not sure you need "itself"

  -> Thanks, Gilla! No, I don't think it is necessary, I just included it as a possible option.
