	Petroglyph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term 'petroglyph' should not be confused with pictograph, which is an image drawn or painted on a rock face, both of which contribute to the wider and more general category of rock art.
		Petroglyphs were still common though, and some less advanced societies continued using them much longer, even until contact with Western culture was made in the 20th century.
		According to these theories it is possible that the similarity of petroglyphs (and other atavistic or archetypal symbols) from different cultures and continents is a result of the genetically inherited structure of the human brain.

	A Precise Petroglyph Equinox Marker in Eastern California
		The petroglyphs are concentrated on a wave-polished promontory that was, buried by beach gravels of Pleistocene Owens Lake at the end of the last glaciation, less than 15,000 years ago.
		As the mudflow postdates the carving of the petroglyph and the precipitation may occur over a period of many years, and because CaCO3 in the rind may exchange carbon with CO2 dissolved in rainwater (Pendall et al, 1994), the CaCO3 age at INY272 may be a minimum for the age of the petroglyphs.
		It is clear that the sunwatchers could have designed the six-bar petroglyph in a number of ways that perhaps required a generalized appreciation of the yearly motions of the sun, but not a detailed knowledge of the pertinent orbital mechanics as we now conceive of them.

		The primary internal features of the petroglyph consist of a radial line perpendicular to the diameter of the semicircle, approximately bisecting it, and a drill hole, approximately 1.7 cm deep, near the juncture of the diameter and the radial line perpendicular to it.

		Each of the cardinal orientations of the building is transformed in the petroglyph to another cardinal direction; the east-west diameter wall of Pueblo Bonito is north-south in the petroglyph; the north-south interior wall of Pueblo Bonito is the nadir-zenith in the petroglyph; the nadir-zenith orientation of Kiva A is east-west in the petroglyph.

	THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: PETROGLYPH NATIONAL MONUMENT
		Petroglyphs, images pecked or carved on the basaltic cliffs, are found throughout the 17-mile stretch of the escarpment.
		Estimated dates for the oldest petroglyphs, powerful curvilinear abstract designs, are roughly 3000 BC to 500 AD; early Anasazi petroglyphs made between 700 to 1300 AD are similar to designs found on the pottery of that era.
		While the petroglyphs comprise a prehistoric record of spirits and powers that figure prominently in pueblo ceremony and ritual today, they are also a distinctive pueblo art form that we should not be anxious to destroy.

		Mary Bentley, author of Gabriola: Petroglyph Island, and the discoverer of many of the island's petroglyphs, agreed to create full-sized tracings on plastic sheets, from her original rubbings (mostly made in the '70s and early '80s--in some cases more detailed than could be obtained now) to be used in creating reproductions.
