Ewes marked with paint for breeding and branding purposes had probably taken shelter beneath the rock ledges, where they left paint smears later mistaken for rock art.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archaeology.org/0801/trenches/ewes.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.archaeology.org/img/8090375D-B5DC-443F-A27B-A00ACF1F9337" alt="[image]" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archaeology.org/0801/trenches/ewes.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.archaeology.org/img/96E30F7A-CFFB-42CA-A5DF-9113D0494703" alt="[image]" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archaeology.org/0801/trenches/ewes.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.archaeology.org/img/1F1339C5-08C7-45CB-86FA-13CAC8F8482C" alt="[image]" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archaeology.org/0801/trenches/ewes.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.archaeology.org/img/2CD8A67D-95B4-4C71-8D8F-73D148E28938" alt="[image]" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archaeology.org/0801/trenches/ewes.html">weren't surprised by the results. Probably dating to the seventeenth century, the genuine rock art there generally depicts figures on horseback and other representational forms.
