Lyman Lake petroglyphs

Lyman Lake petroglyphs is a site significant to North American Archaeology. Located in Arizona, United States, in Lyman Lake State Park, the site exhibits traditional rock art or petroglyphs.

History

The prehistoric inhabitants of the upper Little Colorado River drainage left a rich material record of their time in the valley. The ruined buildings, artifacts, and petroglyphs (“rock art”) provide the scientific evidence that permits archaeologists to understand the area’s history. Hopi people see the abandoned houses, broken pottery, and markings on the rocks as a record left by their ancestors during the migrations described in Hopi oral tradition. Scientific archaeology and Hopi oral tradition provide two ways of assigning meaning to the physical record of human occupation of this area.[1]
