WACA 161 – Successive Cultures

WACA 161 shows how different cultures have shared the same location over time. The rock image site is located inside of a Sinagua cliff dwelling,  occupied around the 12th-century AD. However, the style of the red pictographs located here is more characteristic of the Pai cultures that frequented the region in more recent times.

Below is a higher-resolution view of the main pictograph section. The default image shows the panel in natural colors; use the control arrows at lower left to bring up a computer-enhanced version of the image, which emphasizes the pictograph colors; several elements not visible in the natural color image become clearly visible in the enhanced version.
