sketchfab

This is an area of Palatki Grotto Panel 15 where multiple layers of ancient images converge, featuring probable Archaic, Sinagua, Yavapai, and Apache pictographs and intricate scratched petroglyphs. Below model FS1856 lies a rich tapestry of evidence showcasing the superposition of these early cultures over fine scratching that may date back to the Archaic period or even earlier. This model is part of an ongoing initiative to analyze the overlay of Archaic and younger imagery on top of older petroglyph scratching.
