Maybe the ground was closer to the 'canvas' those many years ago?

Erosion and all that?

I checked them out.


I have to find the picture but one of the largest caves had metates built into a seat that pretty much surrounded the inside of the cave. And others on the floor and lots of evidence of punta making and unnatural rocks for that area.
Also, they would have had to dig a long way down to bury some of the bones that we have observed.
I think more likely, it was the equivalent to the graffiti on the bridges and hard to get to places of nowadays. They were just better at it. No spray paint but lot's of Palo to extend their brushes with.
