The SA Petroglyphs, Historic Period Rock Art in Northeastern Wyoming

Author(s): Dr. Mavis Greer; John W. Greer

Year: 2001

Summary

A small petroglyph panel is in the scoria uplands of northeastern Wyoming. A set of vertical parallel lines and individual horse tracks represent two motif classes typical of equestrian period Native American biographic rock art in the Powder River Basin. The lack of associated human (including faces only), horse, and weapon figures seems unusual. Modern inscriptions on an adjacent panel display stylistic trends of Euroamerican rock art and contrast in technology, content, and message from earlier figures.
