Rock Art Savvy: the responsible visitor's guide to public sites of the
Southwest. Ronald D. Sanders.
This user-friendly guide describes
more than 100 mostly public, easy-access rock art sites in Arizona,
southern California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and western
Texas, with a special section on Baja California, Mexico. Written in a
lively, conversational style and brimming with helpful information,
Rock Art Savvy shows both novices and seasoned rock art aficionados
how to get the most from their visits while respecting the integrity of
the sites.
Rock Art Savvy includes all the information visitors need for
enjoying the selected sites. Part 1 is devoted to general information
about rock art and the people who created it. Part 2 provides
state-by-state listings, including directions to, descriptions of, and
contact information for each site. One hundred black-and-white photos
and eight color plates enhance the text, and a comprehensive glossary
explains many less-familiar terms.
Like many rock art preservation advocates, the author believed that most
vandalism is done out of ignorance; therefore, the best way to protect
these fragile treasures is to increase public awareness. Encouraging
people to visit petroglyph and pictograph sites allows them to see the
beauty and value of rock art for themselves.
Curious travelers, amateur archaeologists, students of indigenous
American cultures, and rock art enthusiasts of every level will find
wisdom and delight in this smart, practical book. 264 pages.
