    Book Cliffs Rock Art

    Saturday, December 18, 2010

    On Saturday morning I was headed to Moab in search of some more rock art, but on my way there I made a short detour into the Book Cliffs to find a few pictograph panels. Here's a few photos from the Book Cliffs.

    Nice! They are quite interesting panels. They have been debating about the styles here for awhile now. They were originally labeled as non-typical Ute, but i believe Schaafsma labeled them Shoshone which is a style i'm not familiar with. I can say though they do not look Ute, and photos #8 and #11 are clearly Barrier Canyon Style (which really no one is debating about). Also photo #6 is a typical PLM (Parallel Line Motif) Barrier Canyon anthropomorph, but the surrounding petroglyphs aren't as likely to be B.C.S yet the patina is matching. So likely it was the Fremont or some other tribe copying a PLM figure they had seen elsewhere or something to that aspect.
