Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: petroglyph from Arches National Park. As part of the Chicago - San Francisco road trip (2007), Peter and I visited Arches and Bryce Canyon in Utah. This wall plaque is a facsimile of a petroglyph. Flute? Or blowpipe?

An unusual around-the-corner #petroglyph seen on a recent hike.

Kinda obsessed with the Mountain Lion Petroglyph by the Ancestral Pueblo from the Petrified Forest in Arizona. This would make a really great tattoo.

Visited a couple of excellent local #petroglyph panels this morning.
-
Ancestral Puebloan handprints and an anthropomorphic form, ~700+ years old. Navajo Nation, Arizona.

The Archaic period Snake-in-Mouth rock art panel, believed to be at least 1,500 years old. The form on the hand is possibly a bird, on the left rain falls from a cloud. Note the three snakes. Calcium Carbonate has flowed down on the right side covering part of the panel. The blue-green pigment is unusual in Barrier Canon Style rock art and there may have been one or more other pigments that have faded away.

The Rochester panel is a favorite of many for the numerous and exceptionally imaginative forms on it. Per Sally J. Cole, Legacy on Stone, Boulder, CO, 2009, p. 77, "Petroglyphs attributed to Archaic (Barrier Canyon Style), Fremont, and protohistoric/historic Ute groups." A section I love is the upper left with the lizards, bear, and the "bird in a swing" (my description). The rainbow is likely Fremont. The areas in white are where collectors took away part of the panel, note the section in the middle where someone tried to cut out a zoomorph.

Abstract geometric designs and thin Glen Canyon Style 5 anthropomorphic figures adorn this rock, which rolled 90 degrees after the original art was created. (Photo rotated 90 degrees to show original orientation.) The small anthropomorphic forms on the upper left, featuring bird heads and pendant circle forms, are Ancestral Puebloan and were created after the rock tipped over. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah.

Ancestral Puebloan anthropomorphic figures adorned with headdresses, earrings, and necklaces. Some pigment has likely faded after 800 years of exposure to sun and rain. The central figure is approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. Navajo Nation, Arizona.

The Wolfman panel. "...Anthropomorphs, possible staffs or wands, paw print motifs (canine), wading birds, twined bags with horizontal stripes and carrying loops, and pendant circle forms...", Sally J. Cole, Legacy on Stone, Boulder, CO, 2009, p. 127. The "pendant circle forms" are common to see on panels in the region but no one seems to know what they represent. Ancestral Puebloan, Utah.

Well preserved Ancestral Puebloan dwellings, note the fire stain on the ceiling and the white handprints. On the flat rock are pottery shards hikers have placed for viewing. Bears Ears, Utah.

The Five Faces rock art panel in eastern Canyonlands. This is one of a series of "Faces Motif" panels found throughout the area. Ancestral Puebloan, Utah.

Interesting here is the "conflict" scene in the lower right, unusual to see in Barrier Canyon Style rock art. More traditional are the two large mummy-like figures. The small figure below the sheep is likely a dog. The pecking on these figures suggests ritual modification, either by the original Barrier Canyon people or by later cultures like the Fremont or Ancestral Puebloans. Great Gallery, Canyonlands, Utah.

This impressive rock art sits four miles up a remote rocky canyon—reaching it makes for a nice day-hike. What's remarkable is that this image is ~30 feet (9m) above the canyon floor and is part of a larger, weatherworn panel. The holes in the hands and feet and the bug-eyes are characteristic of this artist's style. This artist may have created other Barrier Canyon Style panels nearby, for example: https://mastodon.social/@PJ_Woods/114445593823581358.

Rock climbers discovered this Barrier Canyon Style rock art panel in southeastern Utah decades ago (full panel not shown). Although exposed to the elements for over a 1,000 years the art is still vibrant. The central figure (~5 ft./1.5m tall) may be an animal with human legs and feet. Barrier Canyon Style art often features these human-animal mixes, which backs up the popular theory of shamanic correlations.

Oops, I missed posting about the #solstice yesterday. But here's a photo of our Los Alamos solstice sun dagger from a few years ago, when I made a timelapse of it here:

I've seen coitus or birthing scenes, they're rare, but this is the first time I've seen them side-by-side like this. It makes clear the cause and effect. The wavy glyph on the right is much longer than it looks here, probably about ten times the length shown. Ancestral Puebloan, Southeastern Utah.

Seeing rock art I haven't seen before is always a highlight for me, so I was happy to finally see this one. Some archaeologist refer to this figure as a wading bird but it is generally known as the Crane Panel. Ancestral Puebloan, southeastern Utah, ~3 ft./1m tall.

Around 1980, archaeologist Steven J. Manning did a rubbing of this complex but faded Fremont painting, preserving the fine detail (F.A. Barnes, Prehistoric Rock Art, Salt Lake City, UT, 1982, p. 159). The pecked snake, the three birds in the center, and the "rainbow" are figures also seen in the Barrier Canyon Style, and the glyph over the rainbow looks Abstract Geometric, suggesting multi-cultural sharing.

Western San Juan Basketmaker-style anthropomorphic forms along the San Juan river (~1,000 BCE - ~400 CE). Forms are roughly life-size. The figure on the right may be wearing a mask. Some of those who see these forms as shamanic theorize the hanging feet represent an altered state. Raft trips out of Bluff, Utah stop at this panel.

These nearly life-size Fremont Style (~300 CE - ~1300 CE) anthropomorphic forms in Moab, Utah appear to hold shields and spears. The Fremont lived mostly north of the Colorado river and appear to have sometimes overlapped and interacted with the Ancestral Puebloan people to the south.

This section of a tall red orange rock cliff wall has petroglyph carvings of some animals. Part of the wall has broken away.

One of the ancient petroglyphs I stumbled across today after going up the wrong canyon looking for another, more famous panel. Apparently the Ancestral Puebloans had wingsuits 800 years ago.
I hiked over the ridge, across the valley and up the next ridge and found the original rock art panel I had intended to visit, called the Procession Panel. Then went over the top of that ridge and down the next valley, the one in the earlier post, and back to the truck.
I shot lots of good photos of rock art today, but these will be in a blog post and a gallery that I will link to later.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day! I got to hike to the famous Sky Rock petroglyph this morning. It’s as impressive as I’ve heard, but a little hard to photograph. The only way to really see the whole thing is from a rock above it, which is hard for a guy my age to manage. I did make it, so here’s a spherical projection panorama I took from that vantage point. You are not allowed to climb on the petroglyph rock itself, so share and enjoy! #petroglyph #owensvalley #skyrock #indigenous #indigenousart #bishop #volcanictablelands

Day 22, Shitty Camera Challenge: Safaitic inscription, eastern Jordan 2023.
Stereoscopic trichrome with Argus 3d cam, DIY filters, and HP5+.
A Safaitic inscription found with a cluster of other Safaitic inscriptions surrounding an ancient monument near one of the even older structures I was mapping.
