A Zigzag on a Bison Skull May be North America's Oldest Art
What looks like a rather nondescript, zigzag line on the skull of an
extinct bison turns out to be an exciting bit of artwork: It
apparently is the oldest painted object ever recovered in North
America.

The forehead of the skull was decorated with a jagged, reddish line
sometime between 10,200 and 10,900 years ago, reports archaeologist
Leland Bement of the Oklahoma Archeological Survey...........

This isn't the first time I've read about that,
and this isn't the first time I've wondered why articles
keep describing that nondescript artwork without a picture.
