PETROGLYPHS Clark County, Nevada “Scrapbook” n. A friend of mine once described my web site as a “Pictorial Scrapbook of History”, and I have to agree. It’s a place where anyone can sit down at a computer, whether in the comfort of their home or at a library, and with the click of a mouse, turn the pages of time to view a segment of Native American history a history which is being lost due to the destruction of many of the petroglyphs by both time and man a part of history which can go back over a 1000 years in Southern Nevada. Most of the petroglyph sites that I am privileged to see will never be seen by the general populace except in places like this web site. What I am attempting to do with the web site is provide a place where anyone with the interest or the curiosity can go to see and appreciate a small piece of Native American history. Purpose: I believe that rock art on public lands does not, and should not

administration bookstore camping climate ... virtual tours PETROGLYPH PULLOUT THE FREMONT CULTURE The Fremont people lived throughout Utah and adjacent areas of Idaho, Colorado and Nevada from 700 to 1300 AD. The culture was named for the Fremont River and its valley in which many of the first Fremont sites were discovered. The Fremont were a Puebloid group who had strong cultural affiliations with their better-known contemporaries, the Anasazi. While the Anasazi built cliff dwellings, the Fremont often lived in pit houses (dug into the ground and covered with a brush roof), wickiups (brush and log huts) and natural rockshelters. Their social structure was composed of small, loosely organized bands consisting of several families. They were closely tied to nature and were flexible, diverse and adaptive often making changes in their lifeways as social or environmental changes occured. Diet The Fremont maintained a hunting and gathering lifestyle and supplemented their diet by farming; growing corn, beans and squash along the river bottoms. Edible native plants included pinyon nuts, rice grass and a variety of berries, nuts, bulbs, and tubers. Corn was ground into meal on a stone surface (metate) using a hand-held grinding stone (mano.) Food was stored in pottery jars or baskets inside small masonary structures, called granaries, which were tucked under small overhangs on narrow ledges. Deer, bighorn sheep, rabbits, birds, fish and rodents were hunted using snares, nets, fishhooks, bow and arrow, and the atlatl or throwing stick.

Pear Search our Site: sitemap The Ancient Indians of the Southwest used gourds for utensils, storage, decoration, or to prepare food. When dried and the inside cleaned, the gourd is similar in consistency with wood. It is carved, painted, and polished to create unique works of gourd art. The Coyote or Buffalo gourd: The gourds found in my local desert area are small spheres ranging from 2-4 inches in diameter. The dried shell is very thin and therefore quite fragile. Painted with Southwest designs and holes drilled for twine to enable hanging, each displays a symbol from the ancient petroglyths, or rock carvings found throughout the Southwest. Great for decorating a Christmas tree, or can be displayed on individual hangers for year round enjoyment. Ornament Gourds We grow the bottle and birdhouse gourds in my garden. These range from 4-10 inches in diameter. We carve and paint and decorate these gourds like the Indians, who called them Dream Vessels.

91. Parowan Gap Petroglyphs Parowan Gap Petroglyph Parowan Gap petroglyphs. Over the years, many of the bouldershave been covered with these chiseled figures known as petroglyphs. http://scienceviews.com/indian/parowangap.html

Parowan Gap Parowan Gap Caves Small Cave More Photos Parowan Gap Petroglyphs The road to Parowan Gap follows an ancient trail through the red mountains that was used by Native American Indians who lived in Parowan valley. Yearly they would pass through on their way to harvest desert resources. In the process they stopped and pecked designs onto the smooth faces of large boulders found along the gap. Over the years, many of the boulders have been covered with these chiseled figures known as petroglyphs. The precise age of the petroglyphs is unknown, but they are thought to be the work of several cultural groups representing a long period of use by Native American Indians. Archaeological research has shown that the Parowan Freemont, a local variant of the Freemont Indians, lived up and down the Parowan valley. There is little doubt that some of the designs were made by this group or perhaps the earlier nomadic Archaic peoples. Researchers believe that the semi-nomadic ancestors of the present day Southern Paiute also created some of the figures. What do these designs mean? Some have suggested that they are meaningless graffiti, but as one Indian said, "a person doesn't work for hours and days deeply inscribing figures in solid rock just to doodle." Others debate that they represent concepts, ideas or actual happenings. Perhaps they were part of a religious activity or hunting ritual. The local Native Americans consider them to be an important part of their cultural history relating stories of their ancestor's.

92. Altay: The Joint Mongolian / American / Russian Project Dedicated to a study of the ecology of ancient cultures in the Altay Mountains of Mongolia, this project surveys for and documents petroglyphs and surface monuments. http://www.uoregon.edu/~altay/

The Joint Mongolian / American / Russian Project, 'Altay,' is dedicated to the study of the ecology of ancient cultures in the x x x x These remote mountains and valleys are rich in surface archaeology: burial mounds from the late Bronze and Iron Ages, great stone altars (khereksur) from the Bronze and early Iron Ages, and ritual sites and stone images from the Turkic period. This region also includes some of the finest and largest petroglyphic complexes in North Asia. In addition, project members have recorded extensive petroglyphs and Turkic ritual sites; deer stones; Turkic images and ritual altars and khereksur, and a great number of other scattered Turkic images, standing stones, and deer stones. Through this process of recording and documenting, the Project is gradually building a vivid picture o f the ecology of culture in the Mongolian Altay between the late Pleistocene (approximately 11,000 calendar year B.P.) and the Turkic period (first millennium C.E.).

The Nuxalk First Nations encourage you to contact them and retain a Native guide. There are very precipitous drops of c. 30 m down to Thorsen creek Respect the art work, do not step on the exposed rock faces adorned by millennia old rock art. Below left: The frothing Thorsen creek down in the gorge. Below center: Overwiew of the site. It used to be Darren Edgar brought you to the Petroglyph Site - but now he is asleep like some of the old faces carved into the rock. Darren Edgar, ‘Ayamaas’, died on March 31, 2002. Nuxalk guides will accompany you on a pleasant walk into the coniferous forest which begins at the bottom of the slope. The track becomes a steep and narrow trail just before you reach the terrace above Thorsen creek. It can be slippery, but the ascent is short! When you reach a ledge about 30m above Thorsen creek you walk into an art display of bygone days though with lasting relevance to those whose ancestors meditated here (to resort to Euro-American precepts) as well as the non-Native visitor. It’s a magical place. Stay a while! With the changing sunlight the face of the rock changes and other engravings become visible.

97. Petroglyphs By Jim Nollman petroglyphs. The following is a brief look at some of the petroglyphs Jim Nollmanhas encountered that depict interactions between humans and other creatures. http://greenmuseum.org/content/work_index/img_id-377__prev_size-0__artist_id-41_

These people were hunters. And they not only left us pictures, but also complete scenes of themselves in action. So what's this petroglyph from the Zalavruga site, on the southern coast of the White Sea, show us? Well for one thing, it may be the oldest picture in the world showing people skiing. It is also a hunt. The animal is a moose. This art becomes much more intriguing and complex when you look at it from their point of view. For instance, they were not only killing animals but also taking the body of one of their gods into themselves. Here's a rubbing from a site discovered last year by two young Russian archeologists at the Kanozero site, located above the Arctic Circle. It shows a couple, the woman is pregant, the man is a hunter and clearly proud of his fertility. This is a whale boat from Zalavruga on the White Sea. The people are carved in detail, which means they are distinguished as individuals. Each person onboard this boat would have recognized himself or herself from the glyph. I believe the second figure is likely a woman. Judge for yourself. Some people believe that this is the oldest picture of a whale in the entire world. 2000 The area is called Karelia. The Karelians were a Finnish/Hungarian race of people who originated in the Northern Urals, migrating into Western Russia in waves starting about 6000 years ago. From there, individual tribes scatter north. 2000 Jim Nollman Petroglyphs "In my pursuit of interspecies relations and animal aesthetics, I have made a lifelong study of totemic peoples' attempts to communicate directly with various species."

98. Sandia Petroglyph Project Information on when a group of six students from Sandia Pueblo worked on a project recording petroglyphs at Petroglyph National Monument. http://www.cs.unm.edu/~brayer/rock/sandia.html

The Pueblo of Sandia Petroglyph Project by: Estella Tsethlikai and Domingo Otero During July and August 1995 a group of six students from Sandia Pueblo worked on a project recording petroglyphs at Petroglyph National Monument, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The students in the group were Loren Gutierrez, Brandi Torivio, Rebecca Trujillo, Scott Paisano, Estella Tsethlikai and Domingo Otero. The project goal was to record all the rock art at Piedras Las Mercadas which is one of the many sites at Petroglyph Monument. The Monument is on the fast-growing west side of Albuquerque and is encroached upon and threatened by nearby housing developments. Our goal is also to record all petroglyphs systematically and thoroughly for inclusion in a computer database. The project is sponsored by The Chamisa Foundation of Santa Fe and the Pueblo of Sandia. The project coordinators are Henry Walt and John Brayer. Work began with an orientation which was held at the Sandia Pueblo Wellness Center on July 17. In the orientation the sudent crew learned how to use surveying equipment and how to survey. The crew also learned how to photograph rock art and how to fill out the field recording forms. There were four different forms that had to be filled out for each Pertoglyph. The next step was to go out to the field and begin the hard work. The first thing that they had to do was break up the site into different working units. Then the crew broke up into two groups of three, and started recording. One person took photographs, and the other two filled out forms.

99. Petroglyphs The following shaman petroglyphs are from the Coso Range Rain shamans traveledgreat distances to go to the Coso Range which was considered a powerful place http://www.acusd.edu/~gennero/Petro.html

DESERT DON'S NATIVE AMERICAN ROCK ART GALLERY Rock Shelter, Carrizo Gorge, Anza-Borrego State Park It is thought that the above pictographs were made during male initiation rites and after the participants had ingested the hallucinogenic desert plant, jimsonweed ( Datura sp.) This petroglyph, partially covered by lichen, in California's Coso Range is thought to have been made during a shaman's vision quest for rain. The following shaman petroglyphs are from the Coso Range: Rain shamans traveled great distances to go to the Coso Range which was considered a powerful place for acquiring control over the weather. The shaman entered a trance and contacted spirit helpers for making rain. The spirit helpers were bighorn sheep. There are hundreds of sheep images in the Coso Range. It is theorized that the depictions of the sheep had nothing to do with hunting but were a metaphor for the shaman's ritual death (i.e., going into a trance) in order to communicate with the sheep and gain the power to make rain. The following pictographs are more mysterious in nature Rock shelter in Cahuilla territory, near Anza, CA

Tomé Hill,New Mexico Petroglyphs Click to Enter Gallery 1, Gallery 2 Links Visit My Southwest PetroArt page. I have been fascinated by petroglyphs since I was very young. There was a large basalt boulder on the banks of the Snake River in Idaho, near where I grew up, that was called Map Rock. There were numerous petroglyphs pecked into this rock, and a few others scattered nearby. I was intrigued by the meaning of these patterns from the first time I saw them. In particular there was a large spiral that caught my attention. I recently returned to take some pictures of Map Rock, since it carried a special meaning for me in my growing-up memories and it was the seed for my infatuation with petroglyphs. It is no longer there. Two of the surrounding basalt boulders containing petroglyph images are still there, but Map Rock has been taken for someone's personal enjoyment. This was no small task, since you can still see a blown tractor tire and the leveled place where it was loaded into a truck. Someone must have needed it pretty badly to have gone through such a struggle to load a basalt boulder of about 4 feet by 4 feet by 5 feet tall, weighing several tons, into a truck and haul it away. That brings me to this page on Tomé Hill petroglyphs. When I moved with my family back to New Mexico in 1999 after being away for 20 years, one of the first things that caught my attention were the petroglyphs on this hill, located a short distance from my home.
