Recent Notes
I was up near the front of the hike this morning when this enormous rattler took exception to our use of the trail. Western diamondback, I think, and definitely the biggest #rattlesnake I've ever seen...

Great photo. Where was this?
I love seeing these guys.
At the same time, I like currently living in an area without them or other poisonous threats.

Archaeologist Ruth Shady "discovered the Caral sites in Peru" is NOT true. The sites were well known and visible to everyone for thousands of years. Peruvians know what huacas are. Flawed writing about a great place and a great archaeologist.
Also, not the "oldest known."

I have not studied this panel. Doing renditions is a great way to absorb the details of a site, but the patina variation gets lost in the process. You can print two at hi-res from the Rock Art pages. I like Rochester Creek best. Newspaper Rock is more like this boulder with petroglyphs from various eras.
My 1280 pixel deskpictures really date those web pages back to the digital stone age.

Good color result. (I used India ink.)
I suspect much of that surface spalting is more recent than the #pictographs. Even older panels may be why this is there.
Sego Canyon has a unique array of styles, this panel is #BarrierCanyon style.

Laughable. Journal is a more important read.

Difficult to continue reading after this: "spirits conceptualise themselves and one another ..."
What they did write:
"... the intertwining strands of evidence from local Indigenous testimonies and a variety of ethnographic sources give us confidence that the rock art here is at least in some way connected with ritual specialists negotiating spiritual realms and the interdigitation of human and non-human worlds."
