Petroglyphs found in the
Beaver State.
"Concerning this study of petroglyphs in Oregon:
The question naturally arises, "How nearly complete is the list of
sites ?" That is difficult to answer accurately. However, subsequent
checkup in the field, interrogation of people who know the country,
the frequency with which the same sites were listed in our
correspondence, and failure to elicit further information which
was sought
concerning additional sites while the known ones were being
examined, lead the writer to believe that probably ninety per cent
or more of all the "rock writings" in Oregon have been studied.
There are some isolated sites referred to in this paper which were
not visited. In some cases, as where the site is a series of playa
lakes with an area from a half-mile to a mile and a half square,
some designs may have been missed; but it may be assumed that the
general characters of the designs of such a site have been indicated
in those recorded. Even if this estimate is unduly optimistic, there
is certainly not the least doubt that an excellent and
representative sample has been collected." (From the foreword)
This 6-1/2" x 9-1/2", 78 page, soft cover, facsimile reprint is
profusely illustrated with 4 photographic plates, 52
illustrations, 22 design type maps and 2 foldouts of distribution of
sites on state and physiographic maps and a
large foldout of design types by site. $14.95
