Hello, you.

A collection of animal petroglyphs; these are presently available as merch on my Redbubble webstore. It’s possible I may use these designs for block printing in the future. These won't be the only ones; I've got a very large animal kingdom to cover.

#MonotremeMonday:

Echidna petroglyph, 90cm

from the 'Echidna and Fish' site at West Head in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, NSW, Australia

“It is difficult to date the echidna engraving using current scientific techniques, particularly as there is no soil covering it. Dating is also difficult because re-grooving sometimes occurs during later ceremonies. However the style of the drawing, known as 'simple figurative', and its state of preservation suggests it was made in the last few thousand years. The simple figurative style is confined to the region.”

Petroglyph (rock carving) of a quadruped (possibly wolf) from Gullickson’s Glen in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin.  Findings suggest that Native Americans were occupying the rockshelter as long as 2,000 years ago, although the petroglyphs probably do not date farther back than 800 years ago.  Excavations at the site have uncovered remnants of Middle Woodland and Oneota occupancy.

El Morro National Monument | The oasis at El Morro has attracted humans for 1000+ years. The petroglyphs left by the Puebloans inspired a tradition continued by each successive wave of people passing by, w/each leaving a chiseled guest log on the walls of the mesa. There are more than 2,000 inscriptions and petroglyphs.
