We were lucky enough to have @beckyferreira write this wonderful article on our rock art research for the New York Times Science @NYTScience !!! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Archaeologists have discovered that an abstract painting in a remote Argentine cave dates back some 8,200 years, making it by far the earliest known rock art in Patagonia. But what does the mysterious pattern mean? My latest for @NYTScience nytimes.com/2024/02/14/scien…
