I will be editing the pages for Rock Art, Cave Painting, Coso Rock Art District. My proposed edits will be posted here. I will highlight the ones that I post on the page.

Coso Rock Art District - will be under a new header titled "Potential Interpretations" or placed in another location that makes sense.

Scholars have proposed a few potential interpretations of this rock art. The most prevalent of these interpretations is that they could have been used for Shamanic rituals associated with hunting.

Rock Art - will be placed under the header titled "The Americas"

The site of Hulkhuku is located in the San Emigdio Hills in South Central California. The rock art found at the site is notable because it is located in areas that archaeologists have identified to be the site of public activities. This indicates that the rock art at this site was meant to be viewed by the general public and was not reserved for the elites of the society or for private rituals

Cave Painting - Will be placed under the header titled “Subjects, themes, and patterns in cave painting”

One site in Baja California that features handprint rock art prominently revealed through an archaeological study that the handprints most likely belonged to women of the tribe. In addition to this, they were most likely used during initiation rituals in Chinigchinich religious practices, which were commonly practiced in the Luiseño territory.
