Overview

The Mt. Irish Archeological District is a large area with many boulder piles and low bands of cliffs covered with petroglyphs. Shaman Knob is one of the major public petroglyph sites in the district and consists of an isolated boulder pile. Native peoples etched an extensive array of nice petroglyphs on the rocks. The BLM placed four numbered markers around the site, 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 2. This site, in the cleft between the two halves of Shaman Knob, consists of one petroglyph panel with an unusual bighorn sheep, two rectangular-style pahranagat-man petroglyphs, and some small abstract designs.
