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 an unnumbered petroglyph site about 10 yards east of Site 4. This site consists of one panel that is packed with curious lines. Older and newer petroglyphs usually are written separately, but here we see newer petroglyphs written atop older petroglyphs.
