Rock Art Task Force
The Rock Art Task Force holds regular training sessions for TAS
members interested in learning how to record sites. These are working
sessions, not tours, where members use mapping, photographing, drawing and
watercolor techniques to preserve the record left by ancient people all across
the state. For more information or to register for a rock art recording
session, contact
Teddy Stickney.
The Paint Rock site contains a very interesting series of panels
of rock art. There is evidence of many cultures' visits here. The rock art
is painted on a limestone bluff on the north terrace of the Concho River.
A low water crossing located in the area and a large grove of pecan and oak
trees on the flood plain of the Concho made this a very inviting place to rest.
The limestone bluff was an ideal place to leave your sign or your group's sign
-- or to paint an episode of events that occurred during your travel to this
place. Some of the journals of travelers that stopped at Paint Rock also
mention buffalo crossing the Concho River at this location.
Kay and Fred Campbell have been very good stewards of this site.
They do provide tours; if you are interested in a tour of the site, contact the
Campbell's at 325-732-4376.
