Overview The Ash Springs Petroglyph Site is an area of lightly desert-varnished boulders on a low hill overlooking the verdant Pahranagat Valley. Ancient people apparently liked the view, as they used the site as a winter camp. While there, they flaked stones, broke ceramic vessels, and etched the rocks with scenes of bighorn sheep, human figures, and intricate designs of all sorts. Listed here are details of Site 15. This site consists of one low, rounded boulder with petroglyphs on the southwest face depicting a big bighorn sheep and an atlatl. |
