News items and updates of interest to NRAF members and those interested in rock art preservation and research are periodically posted here.

Grimes Point Petroglyph Site (Churchill County)

NRAF has scheduled the next fieldwork for this recordation training project for April 28 and 29, 2012. The project is open to volunteers who have been trained in rock art recording methods and to prospective volunteers wishing to receive recordation training. All training will be done in the field. The size of the field crew will be limited so interested volunteers are encouraged to register early. For more information about this fieldwork training session or to register, email info@nvrockart.org.

The Gathering/Gallery of the Ancients Petroglyph Site (Lincoln Co.)

NRAF has received an award from the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative Rd 4 to record the Gathering Petroglyph Site, Lincoln County. Once the necessary permits are in place we will be able to schedule dates for this project. Provisionally, we are planning to carry out this project in October 2012, pending final approval of fieldwork permits. More information about this project will be posted as it becomes available and a call for volunteers will be made once final dates are scheduled.
