Divide and consolidate or rename?

Should this article be divided up and consolidated into these two articles: Petroglyph and Ojibwe "Hieroglyphics"? Or should this article be renamed to something like Ojibwe petroglyphs with links from the foresaid two articles to here? CJLippert 23:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the editing. It is important in archealogy to distinquish between petroglyphs and petroforms. They are different. With that in mind, I propose that petrolgyphs be seperate from petroforms, to not confuse the two. Petroforms are not art or symbols on a rock face. Petroforms are many large rocks layed out in patterns on the surface of flat rock or other ground, and can occupy several square meters, even acres. --joseph 03:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations!

This is a pretty well-written article. However, not only does it not cite anything within the article, but the citations at the bottom do not contain most of the information in the article. Clearly additional sources were used. Cite them! This article has excellent potential! TriNotch 19:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old World, Nazca lines

I have taken the definition and run with it a bit. I hope that you think that desert kites, megaliths, and so on are at least worth a mention. They certainly come within the definition given. The other petroforms of course mostly have their own pages. I have also added some headings. Happy editing! Richard Keatinge 13:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The need for more contributions

It is would be good to include more of Steinbring's work in Minnesota. The purposes and origins of petroforms is fascinating. It is not a well known topic that can be better explained to the general public. Perhaps the oldest petroforms made by natives in North America are still out there, under soil, to be discovered some day. Joseph Prymak (talk) 07:07, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
