Summary

Description

Rodman Mountain Petroglyphs 18Nov2018 a class by Daniel F. McCarthy

Rock Art of the Rodman Mountains Fall 2018

Discover the mystery of the enigmatic symbols left behind by the Indigenous Peoples with Archaeologist Daniel McCarthy. McCarthy will lead participants on an ancient path that provides a glimpse into the life of the Native Nations through petroglyphs preserved in stone. This one-day field class will carpool from the meeting place to Pisca Cinder and the surrounding lava flow that make up the Rodman Mountains. Participants will not only have the thrill of seeing ancient rock carvings in their original setting but will learn what is known of their stories. Class discussions will focus on the people who made these images, how they were created, and their importance to those who created them and to us today. This is a great opportunity to see these images and ponder their significance with an expert archaeologist. The class will also learn about the seasonal patterns of movement across the landscape of the Native Peoples, their places of habitation, and the reason they traveled. Participants will drive about 30 miles from the meeting place to the designated parking area at the Rodman Mtns. Carpooling is encouraged.

DANIEL McCARTHY, M.S., Anthropology, has worked at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Joshua Tree National Park, San Bernardino National Forest and throughout Southern California compiling photographic inventories of the rock art of this region. Formerly he was the Director of the Cultural Resources Management Department for four years with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and spent 18 years on the San Bernardino National Forest as archaeologist and Tribal Relations Program Manager. His research interests include desert archaeology, Native American uses of plants, aboriginal trail systems, material culture of the Cahuilla and Serrano Indians and rock art.
