When we look at these prints it is often difficult to realize that they are all better than 250 years old. In fact it is very likely that many are much older than that figure. Archeologist tell us that forms of engraving work are common in dig sites along the lower Mississippi River region. These sites date in some cases to better than 3500 years ago. We can only wonder how long that the process has been evolving.

At any rate the art works do look very contemporary in appearance, most viewers would not realize their place in art history if they, the viewers, were not told. Indigenous American artist have left a fine legacy in their stone art works.

I would like to take this opportunity to Welcome all of the visitors to this blog and in particular to say, Hello and Welcome to those viewing from foreign countries.
