  • A variety of petroglyphs, including symbols depicting a hunter chasing a deer, are visible on a rock wall at Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument in San Juan County, Utah. The oldest symbols on the rock were made about 2,000 years ago by Archaic, Anasazi, Fremont, Navajo, Anglo and Pueblo people. The oldest petroglyphs on the sandstone appear to be fading, re-covered by desert varnish, a natural manganese-rich coating. In Navajo, the rock is called Tse' Hone, which means a rock that tells a story.

  • Ancient Anasazi petroglyphs cover a rock face, known as Atlatl Rock in the Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. The rock art may be more than 1,500 years old. The rock is named for the two symbols at the top, immediately below the bighorn sheep. The object below the sheep is the atlatl and the object just below that is the dart. An atlatl is a hunting device that is also sometimes called a spear thrower.
