Rock art at 9 mile canyon in Utah.

This is a depiction of a hunt.  The figure in the middle and top position is a Fremont figure and is believed to be a shaman of hunting.  All the hunters are depicted on the right and are hunting antlered animals.  Rock art is common in the Colorado Plateau region as well as the southwest.  The caricatures in the rocks are made by scraping off the top layer of rock to expose the layer of rock that hadn't been exposed to weathering.
