Those ocher pigments remind me of another pictograph site you recently published. We had the good fortune to visit the same locale and found the same cave. The raven feathers were still strewn about! We enjoyed circumambulating that wonderful quiet valley with no outlet.
My question is about the source of the pigments. I wonder what materials they could use to create these long lasting pigments.
If my house paint would last hundreds of years, I could save a bundle!
Completely agree about cattle in the desert. They don't belong there IMHO
Gold Butte is another example of a trampled desert, with petrified cowplops everywhere.
I imagine the local animals living a hard life already, get squeezed out when water is used up for imported cows.
