the rock art is from phoenix and the dwellings are from walnutt canyon hope yall like em

Those interested in rock art need to check out the petroglyphs in the bed of Tonk creek just upstream from Tonkawa Falls (Crawford, Texas). Normally they are out of the water only in the summer, but as dry as it has been, they may be viewable now. Short trip for those spending a day at Chrisners.

paint rock texas has a good set as well

Good job you have recorded those images...how much longer can work that delicate survive ?

Matt, any clue what tribe may have made those petros ? Thats a rare finds for central Tx.

Paint Rock is just a couple inches closer to that devils River bunch to the south... Ancient Artists vacationing at those places

thanks hal i get real excited when i see them. i was in western colorado for a while its saturated with petros

Hal, I do not recall whether the petroglyphs have been tied to any specific archeologic period. In the mid 70's, I was involved with the Central Texas Archeology Society a little, and one of our projects was cleaning and chalking the petroglyphs for a pictoral study. As of that time, I don't think anyone really knew. The rock shelters in the immediate area had occupations from paleo to pre-historic times. Based upon the name of the creek and associated waterfall, the locals contend they were made by the Tonkawa's ancestors. But most likely being pre columbian in origin, I guess no one really knows.
