Plate 13. Site 5MF948, Panel 4 overview showing three vertical abraded areas at <br />left, three faint, red pictographic elements, and historic graffiti at upper right. <br />Panel 5 is approximately 1.8m to the right of Panel 4, measures 66cm in length and <br />106cm in height, and ranges from 70 to 176cm above pgs (Plate 14). From left to right this <br />panel consists of graffiti reading "WD 41" (possibly an indication of the year of the <br />inscription?), a smudge of red pigment, a vertical ground area measuring 2cm wide and 25cm <br />long, a simplified pecked shield figure consisting of a circle with a small "head" protruding <br />from the top, and a single straight "leg" from the bottom, a vertical incised line with <br />additional appended lines similar to a "corn plant" or tree element, a similar pecked "plant," <br />three elements consisting concentrations of numerous abraded vertical lines, and an element <br />of three converging abraded lines in the manner of a bird or turkey track (being rubbed by <br />cattle and/or wildlife). <br />Panel 6 is approximately 4.2m to the right of Panel 5, measures 270cm in length and <br />57cm in height, and ranges from 56 to 113cm above pgs. From left to right this panel <br />consists of a pecked inverted "U" shape (Plate 15), two possibly slightly ground surfaces, and <br />what appears to be a red painted outline of an anthropomorph that has been intentionally and <br />thoroughly rubbed and ground out by someone—presumably prehistorically—at a later date. <br />
