Because of its seemingly perfect triangular shape, the Osage and Quapaw Indians referred to Healing Rock, now located on a shore of Skiatook Lake, as Teepee Rock. The Native Americans believed the stone possessed natural healing elements. While many people considered the mass to be man-made, archaeologists have confirmed that natural elements have eroded the rock to its teepee form. Today the rock captures both the majesty of nature and beliefs of an indigenous culture.

Journey of Mankind the Peopling of the World. In part one, with the aid of modern science Professor Stephen Oppenheimer sheds light on the most important journey ever made by mankind. From the earliest figurative rock art of the remote Kimberley region of north-western Australia to the mysterious stone statues of Easter Island. Throwing light on the artistic legacy of our ancient ancestors, we travel from the deep caves of Niaux in France to the magnificent carved giraffe of the Sahara, and on to the dawn of the age of the megalith in Europe. In this first series of iLecture documentary films, join us as we explore our prehistoric world. Drawing on knowledge of some of the worlds leading experts the Bradshaw Foundation website covers ancient Rock Art and Cave Paintings found throughout the world, along with articles and latest news on Archaeology, Anthropology and The Journey of Mankind.

Joyce White, co-Director of the Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP), talks about the origins of the project and gives an overview of the test excavations the team has conducted at a series of cave/rockshelter sites in northern Laos since 2007. Dr. White is interviewed during the 2010 season at a cave called Tham An Mah near a village called Ban Xieng Mouk just outside of Luang Prabang. The excavation yielded several important Iron Age discoveries that will shed light on MMAP's research on human prehistory in this under-studied region of the world.

This video shows some of my work on a petroglyph site that I found near El Paso, Texas in January 2010. The linear petroglyphs are found on limestone bedrock and are very difficult to see under normally lighting conditions. To reveal the details of the petroglyphs, a series of mildly convergent stereo pair images were collected to create a high-resolution 3D model of the glyphs. The process produced a 0.5 millimeter 3D model of the surface of the bedrock. Several pecked lines are apparent in the 3D model that are not easily visible otherwise.
