The rock art—where the pictographs stay on the cliff.

Paint Rock is a site in Hyattville, Wyoming. The rock art—where the pictographs stay on the cliff. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the artists. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Paint Rock is the 10,000 — the 'continuously occupied' that's the Frison, the 'Paleo-Indian' that's the Crow. The '750 feet' is the cliff — the 'hundreds' that's the petroglyphs, the '2,000 years' that's the pictographs. The 'atlatls' is the pre-bow — the '1,500' that's the introduced, the 'shield warriors' that's the bear power.
The 'Wickwire' is the '67 — the '2 years' that's the absent, the 'wife sold' that's the ranch. The 'sheet music' is the historic — the 'violin' that's the settlers, the 'vandalism' that's the newer. Paint Rock is the layered — the '10,000 years' that's the occupied, the 'Medicine Lodge' that's the named.
The file keeps Paint Rock: the 10,000-year occupation, the 750-foot cliff, the atlatls, and the Wickwire.
Paint Rock is the archive's Wyoming file — the oldest gallery.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Paint Rock is the archive's Wyoming file — the canyon's canvas.
A cliff keeps its layers — the file's suggestion being that Paint Rock's hold is the continuous: the '10,000 years' that's the occupied, the 'atlatls' that's the pre-bow, and the 'sheet music' that's the settlers.
