 eastbayexpress.com | News | This Rock May Help You Get Pregnant
This particular East Bay rock has excited researchers owing to the high volume of cupules, a suggestion that the site was visited for thousands of years over several generations, perhaps predating even Stonehenge.
Even though the rock's schist surface had been sanded down by thousands of size-six shoes for decades, the petroglyphs were still visible.
Since the rock in question is virtually covered in cupules, like few rocks the researchers have encountered before, Kelly estimates that natives returned to this stone time and again -- an exciting prospect to any historian of peoples.

June 29, 2006 04:51 PM As captain of the last surviving of what were once four block watches in the Ronan-Edgehill neighborhood (across Whitney Avenue from East Rock), I commend the efforts of my fellow Lawrence Street residents.
