The Colorado Plateau (due to geology and climate) provides a spectacular gallery for preserved rock art that spans approximately the last 3000 years. It is in fact the best location in the world for this time period. We will review how archeologists have put this into a reasonable time-geographic context that spans 6 cultures. We will then look at the art by specific topics irrespective of age and culture. I will draw on indigenous peoples’ memories and experts’ opinions as to what the images might mean. Briefly at the end I will put this rock art into context with other great rock art around the world. It is one of the most important legacies that we have inherited from ancient cultures.
