For thousands of years Summer Lake has been an important region for humans. Native Americans lived and hunted here while the Ice Age lakes were slowly drying up. Evidence of their reverence for the land abounds in the revealing and well-preserved petroglyphs. The area around Summer Lake is one of the richest in the world for petroglyphs and other evidence of an earlier people who lived here. In the quiet of evening with the purest of skies above, you may hear the echo of ancient folks still ringing in the clear air. From bluffs near the Chewaucan River to Hart Mountain and all over Lake County, petroglyphs are abundant. Images depicting hunting, wildlife and many other scenes have been etched into the stone leaving a message for those who come later. The petroglyphs' meanings are sometimes obvious, such as a sheep nursing its kid or lightning and rain descending from a cloud, but often they are a mystery. Why were these enigmatic messages left here? What did they mean to their creators? What do they mean for us? This mystery transports you into an older time - a time before the white man came to Summer Lake, a time of survival depending upon your own skills. With the sounds of modern wildlife surrounding you and the air as clean and clear as thousands of years ago, pondering these mysteries seems natural. Somehow the connection with the ancient peoples brings a renewed sense of wonder - the majesty of rain walking across the land, the renewal of life in the spring, and the depth of the sky.

Rock Art in the Southwest Petroglyphs at Tsankawi, NM The petroglyphs at Tsankawi are incised. Most of the rock art in the southwest is pecked into the desert varnish which coats boulders over a period of many years. Incised images are carved into the soft sandstone and are often hard to see, depending on the nature and the direction of the light. The Puye Ruins which are not far from Tsankawi also have numerous incised petroglyphs. One example is shown on the next page.

109. Rock Art Of Missouri A short essay on the current conditions of the state's petroglyphs. Features an image gallery of drawings and photographs. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/1384

Petroglyphs, Inscriptions, Pictographs Mounds, Monuments, Tablets Rock Art of Missouri and Vicinity EARLY AMERICAN BILLBOARDS Nearly everyone is fascinated by the carvings and paintings of animals and symbols left on rocks by early Americans. Much time has been spent to understand what they mean, but it is generally accepted by the academic community that we really don't know, except for those recent enough that Native Americans can interpret. When we see modern graffiti, we condemn the vandalism and want the perpetrator to be fined and repair the damage. I was shocked a few years ago when I saw approximately 900 square feet of such desecration gouged into the sandstone face of a Missouri River bluff. I had heard about carvings of animals at this location, and wanted to see and photograph them in an effort to better understand this medium of communication. On my third trip there I felt I had found most of the animals and symbols that were readable and I began searching among the carvings of Bill, Fred, and Alice to see what they so carelessly had

home travel store photo gallery ... trading post Rock Art USA l inks International Links Gallery ... News Our interest in rock art began more than years ago with a photograph of the All American Man , a remarkable pictograph in Canyonlands, Utah. Since then rock art has taken us to many unforgettable places "Side canyon" became the symbol for our quest one day in Death Valley when we were looking for a pictograph site near Split Mountain. The information we had told us to "look in a side canyon for minor caves under overhanging rocks". It seemed simple enough when the day began but we soon discovered we were surrounded by side canyons and all of them had minor caves and overhanging rocks. We spent a long day looking for the right one. Some sites are found without searching, some will not be found no matter how long we search. Light conceals and then reveals it. Trees and brush hide it. Trails lead uphill and into the sun. It is usually either hot and dusty or cold and windy. Every day ends late. What is rock art?

114. The Equinox Project Reports and resources from volunteer group investigating Inyo site rock art and petroglyphs. http://www.equinox-project.com/

This is a unique web presentation. Here you will find material that is presented nowhere else. We have discovered, or more properly re-discovered, a true animation that is designed to function on the equinox. This discovery is of serious historic importance. It explains the root religious beliefs of the Native Americans. This is a first. No one where else is this information available. The Equinox Project is proud to make this presentation. We are dedicated to the preservation of this endangered artifact and the philosophies it represents. It was Dr. Barry Fell, the renowned epigrapher, who wrote of the location in his book, Saga America . Archaeologists had previously looked at the stone cut writings on the site and reported it to be typical Indian 'doodlings' and nothing special. When investigated by somewhat more open minded epigraphers, it was found that Inyo is a complete solar observatory. The equinox, solstice(s) and cross quarter(s) are all noted by specific heliolithic (sun and stone) displays. Also notable is the fact that there is an image of Lugh, a deity of undeniable Celtic origins inscribed there in antiquity. This compliments the images of Ogmios, also Celtic and identified by Dr. Fell, found a days walk to the south. Epigraphy, the study of stone carved messages (a cousin of paleography) is cause for these discoveries. What has been found and identified strengthens the cause of cultural diffusion. Often the claims of anti-diffusionists rely on the arguement of independent invention. However, this theory fails when the existence of Old World writing ststems, especially the Celtic writing system, ogam (or ogham), is noted. Duplication of a complete writing system is simply and logically impossible. So is the 'invention' of the universal religion. Finding these icons puts serious doubt into the accuracy of what is propounded as

EuRA - Rock Art in the Alps by Footsteps of Man Mt. Bego Petroglyphs in Italiano or en Français Mt. Bego and Valcamonica are the two most important alpine rock art sites. Regarding the quantity and the quality of engraved rocks we can't find any equal in the other alpine valleys. In Valcamonica some 200-300.000 engraved figures are estimated to exist, while in Mt. Bego 35,000 engravings were traced (and counted). Natural blackboards It is often claimed that this huge concentration was due to the presence of two open air sanctuaries, or sacred mountains. Although we may consider the possible religious meanings as very important in the choice of this site by the prehistoric artists, we must also consider that the rocks, sandstone in both Mt. Bego and Valcamonica, are not exfoliated, not too hard, and are perfectly polished by the glacier, showing most surfaces similar to a natural blackboard, ready to receive the signs engraved by alpine cultures. So we must find in the rock itself the main ground for such a large concentration of pecked figures.

Rock Art Photo by Dave Lee, web page by Brian Lee Petroglyphs, Pictographs, Cave paintings, etc. (Mostly Archaic styles of the Southwestern U.S.) Updated Sept 2003 (Photos page updated Sept 2003) Welcome to BCLee's rock art page. My focus in these pages is on the Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) of rock art, a carefully composed and visually stunning style occuring mostly in Utah, much of which is likely between 2000 and 4000 (although some claim up to 8000) years old. If I ever get the time I'll also add information about other southwestern rock art, particularly other archaic styles and anything else that either relates to Barrier Canyon style or that I happen to have a good picture of. (Like Dave's photo of the TV sheep above.) And maybe someday I'll actually write something. Photo Collection Other Rock Art Web Sites What's next: In Sept of 2003 Amy and I visited Utah for a week and took many new pictures. All of Amy's pictures are with a digital camera, and I've started adding those already. After a number of failed attempts to get my prints and sildes scanned (commercial scanners seem incapable of scanning rock art, all I got were shades of brown brown cliff face, brown pictograph, brown trees, brown sky . . . you get the idea) I finally got my own (slide-capable) film scanner, so I've been adding more of my own (film-based) photos as well. So far the results are much better that I've seen from any photo shop, but I'm still learning. home rock art Why are you here? / What does it all mean? /

PETROGLYPHS Welcome to the Valley of Fire! You're looking at Native American petroglyphs or pictures that have been carved into the sandstone. Most archaeologists believe that people have been in the Valley of Fire for about 4,000 years, going back to a time when this place was wetter and cooler than today. Both the Anasazi and the Paiute peoples lived here. As with Red Rocks, there are many petroglyph sites in the Valley of Fire. If you come, don't miss the Lost City Museum in Overton. Just a few miles northeast of the Valley of Fire, this museum has an great collection of local Native American artifacts. There is even a reconstructed Anasazi Pueblo . Since the Valley of Fire state park is only about an hour North of John S. Park, it is a popular place for field trips. Return to the main gallery The above photos were taken by Ryan Dwyer. While they may be shared, credit must be given to the photographer. Information on this page was extracted from Nevada's Valley of Fire: the story behind the scenery , by G. William Fiero and edited by Mary L. Van Camp. KC Publications. Eighth printing, 1998.
