FS1829 Palatki, Panel 15 Detail

sketchfab

This is a small area of rock art panel 15 at the Grotto Alcove of the Palatki Heritage Site in the Red Rock District of the Coconino Forest, northwest of Sedona, Arizona. Rock art experts identify this as a small portion of an Archaic rake symbol pictograph that appears to be superimposed on probable older vertical petroglyphs and later scratched over by younger Sinagua or Apache symbols. The age of these oldest scratches remains unknown at present. This is part of a larger project to document endangered sites, rock art, and evaluate potential pre-Archaic imagery in the Verde Valley.
