Rock Art from Nine Mile Canyon

1. These guys were very impressed with Big Horn Sheep. Note the fainter, I'm assuming older, Petroglyphs.
2. The inventor of the Gentlemans' dress tie. He should be shot!!
3. They must have been VERY impressed with some of the other local wildlife.
4. This is the only place I have ever seen Owls depicted in Petroglyphs.
Again, this is Fremont people artwork. Rather than Anasazi. Very different. There is even some erotic, maybe even pornographic, artwork here, which I have never seen before.
I hope you like it.
I realize this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I have lot's more if anyone is interested. It fascinates me!

Good work, Chief. Let's see if Jim (Cany143) has additional info as this was his speciality.

Thanks, Mike. Yeah, I was hoping Cany would chime in. Although I think he specialized in Anasazi stuff

I have always found petroglyphs to be fascinating too! So much history/mystery, considering the connections in these drawings that have such similarities across the world dating back to times when they couldn't have communicated by any means other than travel and talk.
Yep, I'm a total geek when it comes to these kinds of "artifacts". Great set Chief, I'd love to see more!

Thank you, Tim. My pleasure. As I said, this stuff fascinates me. Kind of a window back in time, several thousand years in some cases.

While stationed at Holloman AFB, N.M. we visited Three Rivers area. A large selection of petroglyphs many depicting strange and interesting things-UFOs, "monsters" and so on.

Thanks, Rob. I lived as a young kid in Moab during the Uranium mining boom. I had an early introduction into both Rock Art and stone artifacts- arrow heads, bird points, axes, spear points and the like. Also some pots and stuff that were legal to dig and own at the time. We used to go on 4 wheel drive expeditions of several days duration on a regular basis. We had a pretty good collection once upon a time. It's been a life-long obsession with me ever since.
I'll post some more rock art panels.

*ding-ding-ding!* (chiming in, so to speak....)
Do I have further information? who, me? Nah. Other than to mention that (a graphic of that) owl petro is the official logo of URARA (the Utah Rock Art Research Association). And that sure, there are other owls in the rock art record (one polychromatic owl picto in particular, for example, that would knock your sox off). And that there are pictures of r.a. panels in Nine Mile that photographer Leo Thorne took in the 1930's, and those can be compared to some of the same panels shot since that clearly shows certain of those panels have been 'added' to in the interim (very probably) by Ute people. (Uinta Ute reservation lands lie opposite the Green River from the mouth of Nine Mile).
Other than that --and that no, my 'speciality' was not 'Anasazi'; it is Archaic-- one of the major areas of contention in current R.A. Research is the debate over Fremont Culture neck tie types. Some say they're standard 'tie'-types, others say they're 'clip-ons'.

Well, you have to be careful not to attribute modern concepts to Rock Art panels. But, without anyone in the know to argue meanings and descriptive representations it's a wide-open ballgame! And I have to admit, UFOs and mysterious beings do come to mind.
The Hopi claim descent from the Anasazi people and claim knowledge about some of the Rock Art meanings. The Utes and maybe the Uintah claim descent from the Fremont people and claim knowledge about the Fremont people Rock Art.
