PETROGLYPHS AND PICTOGRAPHS OF THE UNITED SATES (and beyond)

Dr. Melvyn Mosher
 

Dr. Mosher will be talking about petroglyphs and pictographs of the united sates. Petroglyphs are designs "carved" into rock by either pecking or by scraping (the difference between these two styles is clearly visible in the look of the glyph), while pictographs are designs "painted" on to the rock surface (in some case the design was painted on the rock with a brush while in other cases the paint was applied by spraying).  Click here for a complete summary of Dr. Mosher's talk.
