Thread: Not All BCS Rock Art is Painted

    Not All BCS Rock Art is Painted

    Most Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) rock art examples are pictographs that have been painted on the rock using a red/orange/pink or white pigment. The Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon, the Buckhorn Draw and Head of Sinbad pictographs are classic examples.

    However, I did run into a small example of a BCS petroglyph in Short Canyon. Petroglyphs were chipped or pecking into the stone using a harder stone as a chisel. The example below was very faint and only eight or ten inches small. But is certainly looks BCS to me.


    That should be "Great Gallery."
