The purpose of this project is to collect baseline data on all known rock art sites in Lincoln County. Project volunteers will help with assessing site condition, determining site boundaries, identifying rock art panels and design types, and mapping. Training will be provided in the field for those wanting to complete the practical component of the NRAF recording certification.
Lake Mead Recreation Area The Nevada Rock Art Foundation, in cooperation with the National Park Service Lake Mead Recreation Area, recorded rock art at two sites in the Laughlin area in southern Nevada. This project was held from March 20th-25th. The purpose of this project is to provide the NPS with baseline data regarding the sites' condition, size and spatial extent. Volunteers collected IMACS and GPS information, photographs, and producee scale line drawings. We are currently working on processing the materials collected during this session.

Past Projects Since its founding in 2002, the Nevada Rock Art Foundation has worked state-wide recording rock art sites in partnership with federal and state land managing agencies. In 2007 the Foundation recorded 643 rock art panels at 16 sites, ranging from White Pine County in the northeast of the state to Esmeralda County. In 2008, fieldwork focused on completing documentation work at Lagomarsino, one of the largest and most significant sites in the state, with over 1,000 panels recorded in 3 months of fieldwork. In 2009 the Foundation recorded 7 sites at the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, Lincoln County; assisted the National Park Service Lake Mead Recreational Area in producing the first full documentation of the Grapevine Canyon site, one of the most important rock art sites in southern Nevada; and started work on the multiyear Lincoln County Rock Art Inventory Project, recording 35 sites. The Foundation also completed its descriptive report and condition assessment of the Lagomarsino Canyon Petroglyph site. Narrative summaries of these and other projects will be added to this page over the coming months. The work we have accomplished to date has been made possible by the dedication and commitment of NRAF's volunteers. Highlights include: |
