Spanish term or phrase: de forma monográfica
"Valorar y estudiar de forma monográfica las localizaciones de arte rupestre y de grafías asociadas a monumentos megalíticos"

Struggling with this one and feeling that I have used up my translation powers today!
Thanks for any suggestions.

English translation:- (omit)
Explanation:
IMHO, "Valorar y estudiar las localizaciones de arte rupestre y de grafías asociadas a monumentos megalíticos" says the same thing to all intents and purposes, but without the offending phrase, which rarely translates neatly into English IMHO.
If you feel you must, you can express it using "only" or "focusing on"... and things like that. And "monographically", obviously, but I'm not a fan.

It almost works with "uniquely" or "specifically"... although I still prefer to leave it out.

"Assess and study (uniquely) the locations of cave art and graffiti associated with megalithic monuments"

monographically


Explanation:
El diccionario de la RAE dice, para monográfico: "Que trata con detalle un tema o asunto específico". En inglés, la definición de monographically es"In a monographic manner; in the manner of a scholarly book or a treatise on a single subject or group of subjects. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/monographically).
O sea, en tu frase, la traducción sería "to study monographically" (o studying monographically)

Example sentence(s):
  • "We can study monographically whole concrete societies..." https://brocku.ca/MeadProject/Thomas/Thomas_1918/Thomas_1918a.html
  • "...it is recommended to study monographically this trend in each of these areas." Page 73 of https://crl.acrl.org/index.php/crl/article/viewFile/15913/17359

soley


Explanation:
Maybe something like soley or something similar. There is no way the translation is going to be as direct as monographically.

work it into your translation as fits:

Valorar y estudiar de forma monográfica las localizaciones de arte rupestre y de grafías asociadas a monumentos megalíticos.

Assess/Evaluate and specifically study etc.
