DStretch enhancement technology has enabled rock art researchers to identify and record previously obscure pictographs at thousands of sites worldwide. Recent DStretch enhancement of photographs from Writing-on-Stone, Alberta, exposed a previously unknown horse and rider pictograph at site DgOv-2. The pictograph can be identified as a “calling card” painted by a Crow warrior-artist to taunt his Blackfoot enemies at one of their most sacred places. The image details the artist’s success against a force of enemies that are presumably Blackfoot
