  1. I cleaned up some damage to this scene before I printed and hung it on my wall. I like the three happy sheep, the anthro with its necklace and quirky face, and the crescent moon. Ancestral Puebloan.

  9. 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.

  14. Decades ago someone gave me a topo map of the Dollhouse area in Canyonlands with a slew of Barrier Canyon Style rock art sites shown. Sadly, most panels were faded with this one being the best in the area. Looking closely one can still make out embellishments on the heads and torsos. Most interesting to me are the zoomorphic lizard-like "familiars" at the bottom left of each anthropomorph. It's common to see familiars in BCS rock art but for each form to have an identical one is unusual.

  16. 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.

  21. 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.

  26. 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.

  31. 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.

  46. 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.

  51. 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: mastodon.social/@PJ_Woods/1144.
