Scans are done in gray image at 900, 2400, 4900 dpi. To my amazement a
  couple scans had small color areas show up. One scan was totally B & W
     until I cropped a section and blew it up, then color areas appeared.
  All the scans had the aspect ratio preserved and when finished were best
 viewed at 100%. Scans were all done in Photo Plus 4. Occasionally I would take a scan into Microsoft photo editor or Adobe photoshop and do photo adjustments. The photo scans pictured here are but a tiny section of the originals. On most of these I haven't a clue how or what steps I took to get the results. I was just playing around and never expected this.

   I haven't a clue why these scans are showing this stuff or why some have
   different colored backgrounds and some are white. I scanned a regular
   photo of me and the dogs and did the same adjustments to it, but didn't

  come up with anything resembling these. These scanned photos are only a
   small crop of the originals.

   These images, pictures, etc. that are comming out on the scans seems to
   somehow of been put onto the rocks in layers. The reason I think this, is
   that I have re-scanned the same areas and I come up with a completely
    different picture. It seems like every time I re-scan the same area I am
 peeling off another layer. Also I am noticing that the different DPI settings
     are bringing out different pictures, images, symbols, etc. Some of the
   pictures have what looks like cylinders in them and the more you adjust
      the focus, the more symbols (scrolls?) appear out of the cylinders.

This scan is called standing bear and was done at 900dpi. Only the legs were scanned. I don't recall exactly which area of the legs were cropped and scanned to get the picture, # 2.

I have seen one of these designs in another scan. Take notice of the designs and also note that that this picture has an accordion look to it. Don't have a clue how this one ended up with depth and an almost 3-D affect. I do remember that he original large scan had two white crosses in it, this is where I cropped to get this picture.



(# 3) Indiandress


(c) 1999, all rights reserved

This piece of Indian dress (with what looks like blood on it) was found along with a spirit stone and rock carving in the shape of a neolithic bird man. The dress has symbols on it and writing on it that says "good old days". It was machine sewn and was made (probably) between 1895-1920.
