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 4. This site consists of four large boulders that enclose a living space, and the residents pecked petroglyphs on several of the faces and used several of the flatter rocks of metates to grind seeds and other hard edible materials into meal (honestly, however, I've looked for grinding slicks without luck).
