Event Description:
Jessica is excited to tell us about Shumla’s newest cutting-edge endeavor, the Hearthstone Project. It is a comprehensive study and documentation of prehistoric art in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas and adjacent Mexico. Near the confluence of the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers, archaeologists have identified over 300 rock art sites. The Hearthstone Project focuses on the oldest and most widespread type in the region, Pecos River style pictographs, created with multi-colored paints in many shades of red, yellow, black, and white as early as 4,000 years ago. In the Lower Pecos it seems that each discovery brings with it 100 more questions. There’s so much left to learn!
