Petroglyph Area
"Petro" means rock, "Glyph" means writing. Archeologists speculate that pre-historic cultures used petroglyphs to depict aspects of ceremonial significance. These petroglyphs, which are carved in metamorphosed sandstone rock, are estimated to date back to pre-Maidu occupation from 5,000 - 10,000 years ago. In 1972, these petroglyphs and interpretive site were placed on the National Register of Historic Sites at the Smithsonian Institute.
