All those Nomads interested in early migration will be ahead of the curve if they read this: http://www.duerinck.com/migrate.html

Pompano
Since you are interested, I know where there are some markings that pre date any of the Baja paintings. Maybe we could do some investigating. I'll
see if I can find the pictures.

Thanks David
I just sent it. And, I actually managed to get your repellant donations down south before Dengue season. This year!
Muchas gracias from the locals who will be wearing it.

My boat theory is looking better every day. I read an article about the Cheddar man in Ireland. They scrapped a skeleton tooth for DNA and took DNA
samples from the people in the nearby village. One was a perfect match. Since nobody could make a living in Ireland 9,000 years ago and stay on for
all those terrible ages it means that all over the globe these things that looked like OCCUPATION are VISITS BY NOMADIC FISHERMEN. It's the
fishermen/seal/whale/walrus/otter hunters who were roaming about in skin/reed boats whose evidence of farflung voyages over very short migration
periods are now surfacing. No body, I mean no body could have painted the murals 8,000 years ago and stayed, survived this harsh place to become the
modern Pericu.
I'm the only oldtimer exception. Think "vini, vidi, velcro" -- I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Thanks David
There are actually a number of caves that have similar markings as well as paintings and they are a mystery even to those that live there. (They
usually have an explanation for everything!)
I would be willing to put a trip together for a select few if there is enough interest.

So, JR, you've been able to establish dates for rock art? Tell me about the method you used!

Dates ?
Did I miss something here?
I was told they are old
and to me it's quite clear
they are older than paint
at least that's what I hear
From the locals who live there
not the tourists passing through
for the exact dates from "professionals"
I depend on you.

Count me in. I would love to see those!
I assume that they are near San Bartola?

Not those in particular
I think the ones a year ago were paintings rather than etchings. But, they are all pretty interesting. There are some pretty incredible ones within
an hour of Lera so I'm hoping to put together a trip one day.

Hey, JR, you said you knew of some rock art that predated paintings, and I wondered who had been able to date either one--and more importantly, how.
When it comes to dates, professionals are usually the very last people willing to come up with one. There's always the hope that someone will
eventually be able to figure out a way to date paint, but even that won't be any help for the pecked stuff.
