	abstract = {<p>A pair of shield bearing warriors and an associated circle painted at DgOv-83 in Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta has been identified as an iconic representation since it was first recorded in 1976. Photographic images of this site taken in 2012 were recently analyzed using the DStretch enhancement program and it was discovered that the three figures were not an iconic composition but rather a biographic narrative coup count tally recording the war honors of a Late Prehistoric period Blackfoot warrior. Coup-strike bows floating above each warrior and a club floating near the legs of one of them document coups counted on these men, while each warrior is also shot by several arrows. Once the two warriors are identified as enemies on whom coup has been counted, the associated circle can now be easily understood as a shield captured as a war trophy by the artist who painted the tally composition.</p>},
