Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The project links individual paintings to named makers, agesets, caves, mountain areas, and remembered events rather than treating rock art as anonymous scenery. The visible accounts describe materials and circumstances, including bull fat used as paint, paintings made after eating meat, and images intended to preserve memories for later generations. The homepage also exposes routes for fuller stories, a complete painter index, a YouTube channel, and visit planning.
