LLPOT 687 - Rock Art Hot Spots

Utah is home to some of the nation's most spectacular archaeological sites, from the famed rock art galleries of Nine Mile Canyon to the spectacular ruins of Cedar Mesa. But there are hundreds of other localities--lesser known places with names like Sego Canyon and Buckhorn Wash--where the public can experience the remnants of thousands of years of human occupation. Participants will receive a handout describing the location of over 20 fantastic public rock art sites in Utah which can be reached by car and most of these sites will be discussed in class. The rock art will be put in context of what we know of the people who created it.
