The Art and Light of Paint Rock, Texas

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The archaeological site of Paint Rock, Texas (41CC1) at over 300 m in length is the largest continuous rock art site in Texas. Many of its older pictographs have been scheduled to spectacularly interact with the sun on the equinoxes and solstices and apparently also on the cross-quarter days. The older rock art at Paint Rock shows strong connections with the rock art of the Lower Pecos and with Mesoamerican ideology.
