shamans

near Sego Canyon, Utah

these pictographs were on a rock face on the road (BLM 159) north from Thompson Springs...dating of the art work seems a bit vague...native Americans have lived in the area for up to 7,000 years...the current theory is the strange looking beings represent shamans

the style of art here is known as Barrier Canyon, and apparently appears at several hundred sites in the area
