| Ultimately
time and erosional processes will erase all traces of the petroglyphs,
but there is no need to hurry along the process. Recording and
monitoring can help save a record of such sites for future generations.
Responsible action on the part of caretakers and the general
public will also go far to save these works of art for those
yet to come. We should look and we should enjoy, but we should
leave them untouched. |
