10,500-14,800 years old. Nevada. Notice the rock covered in "cupules" on the right section of the outcrop. Cupules are a common design element in rock art sites around the globe...
Cupules:
"Indeed, the oldest art on every populated continent consists of linear grooves and cupules. It dates from as early as the Lower Paleolithic era, and therefore pre-dates the more celebrated Gravettian and Magdalenian cave painting by hundreds of millennia."
Fascinating that the oldest rock art found in NA includes a panel covered in cupules.
