Interesting MS. I had assumed that most, if not all, of the sites had been uncovered by now, or at least evidence that other sites had been used even if the art had vanished. Any further insights on this? Roy. Hi Roy, The point is, that conditions are very rare that this sort of evidence remains, t...
