Another short report from the Lewis Canyon volunteers - despite record cold
temperatures, a hardy crew of volunteers uncovered another 60 glyphs at
this endless expanse of rock art. New motifs include a set of four human
foot prints in a line, as though walking under the dirt, and a tiny child's
foot print. The newly build sun shelter took on another role when wrapped
in tarps and heated with portable stoves. We moved some of the sediment
and a great deal of prickly pear up to bolster the rock wall sediment trap
- the prickly pear should soon form an impenetrable fence along the road as
well. We had planned to photograph and digitize the glyphs exposed during
the last three clean-up weekends but the great Boreal forces were against
us. The next field trip is scheduled for April 19 when - knowing Texas
weather - we will be baking instead of freezing. However, it is imperative
that we begin documenting the exposed glyphs since the number grows and the
task becomes larger.
