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 4. This site consists primarily of one boulder with petroglyphs, but both sides of the boulder are marked. While at the boulder, be sure to walk a few yards east to another nice petroglyph panel shaded by a large pinyon pine growing atop a rock outcrop. |
