Heartfelt thanks and mention on my website as a backer. Of course all heavier pledges will get a website mention too.

I will send you a PDF of my research article Finger Fluting and Other Cave Art in Cumayasa, Dominican Republic, as published in Rock Art Research in November 2010.

A signed copy of the book Rock Art Imagery of the Dominican Republic (i.e. the book we are raising money for) and the PDF of Finger Fluting and Other Cave Art in Cumayasa, Dominican Republic.

I will send you a signed, matted 5x7 photograph of a Taíno cave painting, a PDF of Finger Fluting and Other Cave Art in Cumayasa, Dominican Republic and a signed copy of the book Rock Art Imagery of the Dominican Republic.

I will send you a signed, matted 8x10 photograph plus a 5x7 signed, matted photo, a PDF of Finger Fluting and Other Cave Art in Cumayasa, Dominican Republic and a signed personalized copy of the book Rock Art Imagery of the Dominican Republic.

All of the rewards from the $150 pledge plus an in-person slide show/lecture about my investigations into the rock art in the DR. Scheduling may be tricky with this one-- best to send me an email if you are thinking about a pledge of this size and we can figure out a good time and place. In this pledge range we can also arrange for me to bring you to a decorated cave in the DR for a guided tour. Choice of cave can be tailored to the backer's athletic ability. Transportation costs would be the responsibility of the backer.

There is a cave an hour drive from Santo Domingo that I know of but have not yet explored. There are at least several petroglyphs present near the entrance but what might be painted farther in is not known. I will hold off on investigating this cave until an interested backer at this level is able to join me and we can check it out together. No guarantee on discovering new art. Preliminary reconnaissance suggests that the cave is of substantial size and that advanced rope skills should not be needed. This would be a day trip from Santo Domingo. I will drive but cannot cover any other transportation expenses, we can split lunch and any rescue costs. Bring sturdy shoes and extra flashlight batteries. If this turned into a multi-day trip let's go for it! Three person guest limit.
