The graffiti field should be used to list stations which exhibit some type of intentional human made marking other than pictographs. The medium for these marks could be: pencil, pen, paint, carbide, scratches in calcite, mud or clay and any number of other media. The markings may be historic or not depending upon their age and significance. When looking for graffiti marks, pay particular attention around the deepest areas of the cave near dead ends especially if the area is large enough in which to sit or stand comfortably. These types of locations seem to attract graffiti.
On the CCNP Cave Inventory Form, the recorder is asked to include a description and approximate age for all graffiti. Include this information next to the station. If the mark seems historic, recent or significant, a photograph could be helpful.
Example
- Graffiti: ZZ99 (several pencil signatures on the wall dated 1939)
