This documentary on the KY, OH, WV, IL, & PA petros looks really interesting:
“After visiting a Kentucky cave containing ocher paintings of animals, human handprints, and geometric designs, Shaffer saw the need to create awareness, while encouraging documentation and preservation, by writing the script for a one-hour public television documentary entitled Written in Stone: The Prehistoric Native American Rock Art of the Ohio Valley. The program will allow viewers to explore the little-known and often endangered prehistoric petroglyphs (carvings) and pictographs (paintings) which survive in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Created with the assistance of professional archaeologists and Native Americans, the program will be directed by Emmy Award-winning Cinematographer Scott Spears, and narrated by veteran actor Gary Sandy, best known for his role as Andy Travis in the television classic WKRP in Cincinnati. Shaffer crafted the program’s shooting script, and will continue to contribute to the documentary as Producer and Project Director. Production for Written in Stone is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2005.”
“Written in Stone has the support of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, a federally recognized Native American group which formerly inhabited the Ohio Valley.”
