Unlocking the secrets of ancient Texas cave paintings
David S. Whitley, 2025. Science Advances.
Commentary on the 2025 dating study. Whitley, who says he once took the panels for chaotic accumulations, accepts that they are planned murals each painted at once, credits Rowe's plasma oxidation and Steelman's refinement of it, and reports that a commentary on the White Shaman paintings from Huichol religious leaders confirmed Boyd's interpretation.
