Other design elements include anthropomorphs, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and abstract and geometric figures. Included in the book are stunning illustrations of the sixty confirmed sites and ten destroyed or questionable sites.In the thirty some years during which this information was collected, there has been an alarming deterioration of many of the sites.
