The photo-documentation of Hunters Shelter, a small, obscure shelter high in the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico, led to a reexamination of the corpus of miniature, Late Archaic rock art known as the Red Linear style of the Lower Pecos River region of Texas, 400 km to the southeast. Pictographs at Hunters Shelter and White Oaks Spring and at other sites in the Guadalupe Mountains appear to have strong similarities to the Red Linear style. While the temporal relationship between these similar pictograph styles is still unknown, the Pecos River should be considered a likely prehistoric corridor for the movement of people or ideas between the Guadalupe Mountains and the Lower Pecos region
