Archaeology society to discuss petroglyphs
The Hisatsinom Chapter of the Colorado Archaeology Society will present Mary L. Gillam and Lillian D. Wakeley as they discuss “Are Utah’s Sand Island ‘Mammoths’ Late Pleistocene? A Geologic View,” at 7 p.m. July 2 at First United Methodist Church, 515 Park Street, Cortez.
In their presentation, they will investigate two petroglyphs on a cliff near Bluff, Utah, that have been interpreted as images of living mammoths and thus late Pleistocene in age. Evidence for erosion of the cliff is not consistent with this age interpretation. Also, partial erosion of younger petroglyphs shows that very old petroglyphs are unlikely to be preserved on such weak stone.
For more information, call 560-1643.
