The people who inhabited what is now Texas left a unique series of narratives that provide information about almost 12,000 years of existence. Originally published by the Witte Museum (a preeminent museum on southwestern U.S. history) in 1986, Painters in Prehistory is the result of years of dedication to the story of the ancient Rio Grande canyon dwellers. This updated edition features significantly revised research by scholars who have deepened the understanding of rock art interpretation and the life of these prehistoric people, as well as scientific analysis of artifacts and coprolites.
