This panel section has complex superimosed Sinagua pictographs over Archaic and Sinagua petroglyphs that are progressively sloughing off the rock face. The cliff edge corners were smoothed down in pre-historic time ans Sinagua pictographs and petroglyphs were added over the smoothed surface. This is one of the best preserved example areas of this technique.
This model is part of an ongoing project to document “at risk” rock art at our Heritage Sites due to natural or vandalism related issues. Additional information about the Red Rock District of the Coconino Forest can be found at the following web sites http://www.sedonaredrocktrails.org/
