Excellent Quick Source
Elizabeth Welsh provides an instructive quick overview ofpetroglyphs and pictographs.

The wallet sized book (lighter than pair of sunglasses) is a must for the day hiker or amatuer acrhaeologist.

Not a lot to it, but what do you expect for the price?
The guide has a minimum of information on petroglyphs, and I'm not sure that there is much here that will really be useful in the field. It contains more of an overview of what petroglyphs are, and a VERY sketchy view of different categories (different cultures, different methods of making petroglyphs, etc.).

It contains more of an overview of what petroglyphs are, and a VERY sketchy view of different categories (different cultures, different methods of making petroglyphs, etc.). I kept being reminded of something I might have been given as a handout in elementary school.I have two criticisms, one is that I don't really see much information here that will be useful in the field. The other is that the guide is printed on medium-quality paper, and with no plasticizing or water-proofing at all. It will quickly disintegrate when taken into the field, unless you take strong measures to protect it from moisture, dirt, and rough handling. I just don't see much use for it, even at this very low price.
