     Extractions: 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.

     Extractions: The Petroglyphs of Indian Cave, Nebraska Needless to say, the petroglyphs were probably unmolested for more than a thousand years. Visitors of the last century or two, however, seem to have been unable to resist adding their own bit of art, or self-promotion. Here are a few of the better preserved images. BirdingAmerica HOME

     http://www.sidecanyon.com/features/rockart.htm
     
     Extractions: "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.

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

115. ROCK ART In The Alps - Monte Bego Petroglyphs
     by Footsteps of Man. See Also Mt. Bego petroglyphs in Italiano or en FrançaisMt. Bego and Valcamonica are the two most important alpine rock art sites.  
     http://rupestre.net/alps/bego.html
     
     Extractions: 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.

116. Rock Art
     Photographs by Brian and Dave Lee of petroglyphs, pictographs, cave paintings, mostly Archaic styles of the Southwestern U.S.  
     http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bclee/rockart/rockart.html
     
     Extractions: (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. 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

118. PETROGLYPHS
     petroglyphs. Welcome to the Valley of Fire! You re looking at Native Americanpetroglyphs or pictures that have been carved into the sandstone.  
     http://ccsd.net/schools/jspark/petro.html
     
     Extractions: 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.

     Extractions: Minnesota Historical Society: St. Paul Farmers in Minnesota often cleared agricultural fields of glacial erratics by drilling triangular holes and blowing them apart with dynamite. Farmers rock piles may reveal a wider distribution of the cup marked boulder phenomenon if a survey is made of these boulder remains, such as they are. Click here for information regarding Minnesota's Sacred Red Rock boulder and Dakota religious beliefs related to boulders or Spirit Island, Mille Lacs, Minnesota Dakota sacred painted boulders were historically reported at Shakopee, Lake Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Birch Island Lake, Winona, St. Peter, and between South St. Paul and Mendota. Many of these were stolen or removed.
