SAND DUNE SITE - UTAH
Maarten van Hoek Updated August 2005| RESPONSIBLE VISTOR BEHAVIOUR AT ROCK ART SITES
* Never touch or wet rock art - it is highly damaging * Never chalk or enhance engravings * Do not walk on engraved rock * Leave all archaeological artefacts as they are * Only take photographs, only leave your footsteps This most interesting cliff site is located in southern Utah. It has at least 10 rock art panels on vertical sandstone cliffs all bearing petroglyphs - no pictographs were noted on this occasion. Among the many zoomorphs and anthropomorphs of the Basketmaker Period (the humans with drooping hands and feet look much like the ones at the Butler Wash Site - also in southern Utah) are some interesting features like phitomorphs - probably corn plants - and solar symbols. The typical anthropomorph with a bird (duck?) on the head and the flute player are also present. The site can be reached - with local help - from Mexican Hat or Bluff, but is hard to find. I recommend to contact Vaughn Hadenfeldt of Far Out ExpeditionS to be informed about a guided tour to this and other rock art sites in southern Utah and northern Arizona (use the link below to visit his web site). We are grateful to Vaughn for informing us about this rock art site. |
