Overview The Mt. Irish Archeological District is a large area with many boulder piles and bands of low cliffs covered with petroglyphs. Shaman Hill is the largest of the public petroglyph sites in the district and consists of many boulders and rock outcrops on the east end of a ridge (which appears to be an isolated hill when looking west). Native peoples etched an extensive array of petroglyphs into the rocks and did a little painting. The BLM placed eight numbered markers around Shaman Hill, and the BLM and Lincoln County each produced brochures describing the numbered petroglyph panels (BLM brochure; Lincoln County brochure). Listed here are details of Site 7. This site consists of one broad, south-facing rock face. The petroglyphs are more-or-less at ground level on parts of the cliff face to the left, right, and center when standing at the markers. Note that most of what lies to the left is hidden in this view. |
