Most of the papers published in this volume were originally presented 
in February 1995 at the first Trans-Pecos Rock Art Symposium in 
Alpine, Texas, hosted by Sul Ross State University and cosponsored 
by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the 
university. The idea for the symposium was conceived by the 
participants of a rock art recording expedition to Big Bend Ranch 
State Park in 1993, sponsored by the TPWD and organized and led 
by J. David Ing, the Regional Cultural Resource Coordinator.
