Welcome to Petroglyph National Monument Petroglyph National Monument protects a variety of cultural and natural resources including volcanoes, archeological sites and an estimated 24,000 carved images. Many of the images are recognizable as animals, people, brands and crosses; others are more complex. These images are inseparable from the cultural landscape, the spirits of the people who created, and who appreciate them. Visitor Center: Petroglyph National Monument's Visitor Center was once the home of an extraordinary lady. Dr. Sophie Aberle was the first practicing applied anthropologist in the United States. She was known as "Measuring Lady" by the Native Americans she worked with. Her research focused mainly on women's lives at the pueblos, including pregnancy, child birth, child care, diet and healing. Because of her position as Superintendent of the United Pueblo's Agency, she was able to implement practices which led to better conditions in the pueblos. more..

Fremont- Utah Anasazi- Arizona Desert Culture- California Welcome to PETROGLYPHS.US This site is operated by avocational archaeologist Donald Austin to promote appreciation for prehistoric Native American pictographs and petroglyphs. I believe these ancient sites should be protected from destruction and should be appreciated for the beautiful prehistoric art they represent. The best way to achieve the goal to protect these sites is with the cooperation of an informed and enlightened public. Petroglyphs are also called carved rock, Indian writing, picture writing and rock graphics. The ancient images shown on these pages were created by the Anasazi, Shoshone, Sinagua, Yuman, Kumeyaay, Hohokam, Ute, Fremont, Mohave, Paiute and Desert Culture people who lived in the prehistoric Southwest and Great Basin. This page contains links to my photographs of rock art. I've put several captioned photos from each site on separate pages for your ease of viewing.

Petroglyph - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading.

Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as "carving", "engraving", or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve", and was originally coined in
Death Valley Petroglyphs
Petroglyps at Death Valley When we visited Death Valley, we had a hard time convincing the ranger to tell us where petroglyphs were located in the park.
http://www.billandcori.com/deathvalley/dv_petroglyphs.htm

Extractions: When we visited Death Valley, we had a hard time convincing the ranger to tell us where petroglyphs were located in the park. Many visitors vandalize these rock carvings, knowingly and unknowingly, so it is understandable that the rangers would be protective of such artifacts. We told them that we knew not to touch them or to do any rubbings of them and that we only wanted to take photographs. The ranger, convinced that we were probably safe and responsible, told us of a trail that we could hike that was near some petroglyphs. The drive to our hike was enough to ruin the rental car, but the trail itself was flat and easy. Because we have experience in finding petroglyphs, it was obvious where to leave the trail and hike over to where the petroglyphs were. Some of the first carvings we saw were from vandals, but further in, we were able to find many interesting images. This one (my favorite) represents death. It is a person falling downward through a tube or tunnel. At first I thought it was a representation of birth, but after researching this form, we discovered it to be quite the opposite. Several years later, we did find a

The Jeffers Petroglypsh Site In The Midwestern United States Contains Over 2,000
Abstract of a conference presentation on Jeffers petroglyphs, with bibliography and two photos.
http://www.rupestre.net/tracce/JEFFABST.html

Extractions: The Jeffers Petroglyphs site in the Midwestern United States contains over 2,000 recorded carvings, some of which likely date to 5,000 B.P. The nearly horizontal surface of the quartzite outcrop retains ripples and mud cracks as evidence of its shoreline formation 1.6 billion years ago and striations resulting from the last glacial advance some 14,000 years ago. Sitting atop a high ridge in a virgin prairie in the Couteau des Prairies, the site is on the watershed divide between the Mississippi and Missouri River basins near the eastern periphery of the Great Plains. Largely descriptive in nature, the 1970s initial detailed research documented glyphs representing animals important for subsistence, a variety of humanoid forms, weapons (including the atlatl), and abstract forms. The absence of such forms as firearms and the horse and other images frequently associated with the late prehistoric period suggests that the carvings clearly predate European contact with American Indians in this region. Recent analysis documents spatial patterning which reflects the episodic nature of the creation and use of the site. The use of Correspondence Analysis as an analytical method clearly depicts relationships between glyphs and glyph clusters that are partly explicable within the cosmology of various American Indian Plains tribes. Ethnographic data recorded among the Cheyenne, Dakota, Hidatsa and others by explorers, naturalists, and anthropologists contain a wealth of information useful in understanding the meaning of many of the glyphs. Particularly useful are American Indian authored ledger drawings that allow for interpretation of certain elements of the site in a historically recorded context. The cosmology associated with creation myths provides another interpretive framework within which to understand relationships between the site and its landscape setting.

petroglyphs Pictographs - Cave Paintings - Geoglyphs. petroglyphs - Rock Art . petroglyphs are images incised in rock, usually by prehistoric, especially Neolithic, peoples.
http://www.crystalinks.com/petroglyphs.html

Extractions: Petroglyphs are images incised in rock, usually by prehistoric, especially Neolithic, peoples. They were an important form of pre-writing symbols, used in communication from approximately 10,000 B.C.E. to modern times, depending on culture and location. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve" (it was originally coined in French as p�troglyphe). The term 'petroglyph' should not be confused with pictograph, which is an image drawn or painted on a rock face, both of which contribute to the wider and more general category of rock art. Petroforms, or patterns and shapes made by many large rocks and boulders in rows over the ground, are also quite different. The oldest petroglyphs are dated to approximately the Neolithic and late Upper Paleolithic boundary, about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Around 7,000 to 9,000 years ago, other writing systems such as pictographs and ideograms began to appear. Petroglyphs were still common though, and some less advanced societies continued using them much longer, even until contact with Western culture was made in the 20th century. Petroglyphs have been found in all parts of the globe except Antarctica with highest concentrations in parts of Africa, Scandinavia, Siberia, southwestern North America and Australia. Interpretation These images probably had deep cultural and religious significance for the societies that created them; in many cases this significance remains for their descendants. Many petroglyphs are thought to represent some kind of not-yet-fully understood symbolic or ritual language. Later glyphs from the Nordic Bronze Age in Scandinavia seem to refer to some form of territorial boundary between tribes, in addition to possible religious meanings. It also appears that local or regional dialects from similar or neighboring peoples exist. The Siberian inscriptions almost look like some early form of runes, although there is not thought to be any relationship between them. They are not yet well understood.

Looters Sentenced
Article on the sentencing of Arizona residents convicted of removing and selling petroglyphs from a national forest.
http://www.lucernevalley.net/petroglyphs/loot.htm

Extractions: In January 1994 Adam Bruce sold four petroglyphs from Kaibab National Forest to federal undercover agents. During conversations with the agents, Bruce admitted that he knew his actions were illegal. He also implicated his father, John Bruce, as the "mastermind" of their "business," which, in addition to the looting of archeological goods, also included natural resources violations on Forest Service lands, such as elk poaching and removing moss rock. The court sentenced Adam Bruce to seven months in prison and 36 months supervised release. John Bruce was given 36 months probation and Becky Whitted received 24 months probation. The three were also ordered to pay over $7,600 in restitution to the national forest. In addition, three pickup trucks used to commit the violations were forfeited to the United States.

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

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Welcome to WCP-NM.COM's latest website. This is our most exciting endeavor so far. Petroglyphs and rock art from a location near Los Lunas, Valencia County, New Mexico that we believe has never before been documented. Although our research and combing of the area for more of what our ancient, native ancestors left here is still incomplete. Our files are bulging with hundreds of photographs of rare petroglyphs. Many unlike anything you've ever seen before. It is our belief that petroglyphs of the southwestern United States (and around the world for that matter), should be shared for viewing with as many people as possible. So join us now to support the other groups worldwide, like Rock Art Net and Footsteps of Man, in making as much information as possible available for access here on the Internet.

Extractions: ROCK ART Rock art comes in two varieties, petroglyphs and pictographs. The difference between the two types is the manner in which they were made. Petroglyphs were pecked into the surface of the rock. Pictographs were painted on the rock. A coating of dark "desert varnish" on lighter sandstone provides the perfect medium for petroglyphs, which are the most common of the two types of rock art found. Rock art is both enduring and fragile. It has lasted hundreds of years; yet many panels have been recently defaced by graffiti. Climbing on panels can also damage the art, as can attempts to embellish the petroglyphs for photographic purposes. These practices are destructive and should not be done.
