# If These Walls Could Talk

Brad Tyer, 2016. _Texas Observer, December 2016_.

Magazine report on Boyd's book and fieldwork: the shelter is about 65 feet across and 26 feet deep and the mural about 26 by 13 feet; in one day in 2012 her team took 656 microscope images at 42 points and 1,635 macro photographs, which showed black laid down first and red, yellow and white over it. Gives the mural's age as about 2,000 years without a source.
