Petroglyph National Monument |
| |
Description |
This is the official National Park Service site for Petroglyph National Monument, located in central New Mexico. The Monument "protects a variety of cultural and natural resources including five volcanic cones, hundreds of archeological sites and an estimated 25,000 petroglyph images carved by native peoples and early Spanish settlers." Although these carvings are why the park is named, natural resources that include unique desert flora and fauna are also within the bounds of this park. The monument's web site has information on all the above topics, with many photo galleries and additional links to additional information. Of particular interest is the "In Depth" link (http://www.nps.gov/petr/home.htm), which traces human presence in the Petroglyphs from the Paleoindian period through present day, using archaeological and historical resources. |

Selected References on North American Indian Rock Art |

Description |
These references were compiled by the Smithsonian Institution Anthropology Outreach Office. The list of about 50 references includes articles and books from 1929 to 2004. Many of these articles are scholary works, but would probably be easy to find in a unversity library. Since the list has not been updated since 2004, users should be aware that they do not include more recent works. Available in pdf. |
