Implications for rock art dating from the Lower Pecos Canyonlands, TX: A review
Karen L. Steelman, Carolyn E. Boyd, Lennon N. Bates, 2021. Quaternary Geochronology 63, 101167.
Reviews the 32 radiocarbon measurements Rowe's Texas A&M laboratory made on Lower Pecos paintings in the 1990s and 2000s, 29 of them on 16 Pecos River style paintings, and finds every one problematic for lack of sample provenience, chemical pretreatment or controls on unpainted rock. Table 1 lists four such dates for the White Shaman mural (41VV124). The accepted manuscript is free on NSF PAR.
