Utah, in the eponymous canyon north of Thompson Springs. This is one of the most spectacular preserved Native American rock-art sites in the southwest. The pictographs (painted) and petroglyphs (chipped/carved) span thousands of years, from perhaps >4000 BCE to contact, and embrace three different styles. This panel shows the oldest, the so-called Barrier Canyon style, with pictographs of humanoid forms with tapering bodies and commonly hollow eyes. The inserts show more recent styles, Fremont (ca. 500-1300 CE) and Ute (>1300 CE; the Ute live in the area to this day.) These also include animal and geometric designs, and are also often petroglyphs. Alas, contemporary vandalism is also present. I'm going ahead and giving the location, however, because it's shown on highway maps and has a large BLM (Bureau of Land Management) interpretive site.
