Profusely illustrated with photographs and drawings from hundreds of sites. These volumes are among the most complete records of Utah rock art available.

From the Introduction
This volume is the first of two on the rock art, especially the prehistoric rock art, of Utah. Volume I deals only with the rock art of northeastern and eastern Utah. For convenience the region is decided into four areas centering around the Uinta Basin, Price, Capitol Reef National Park, and Moab. In relation to drainages, this volume includes the Green River drainage from the Utah-Wyoming line to its point of entrance into Canyonlands National Park, well below the town of Green River, Utah, but above its confluence with the Colorado River, and the Colorado River drainage from the Utah-Colorado line to its entrance into Canyonland National Park.

From the Preface
Petroglyphs and Pictographs of Utah becomes the first significant anthropological book published by the Museum as it expands its offering in the field of Natural History. Hopefully, other Castleton volumes on Utah’s rock are will follow. It is fitting that this volume, whose basic purpose is the recording and preservation of data on Utah rock art, issue from the Museum, where the care and conservation of Utah’s primitive antiquities have been primary concerns since the Museum’s establishment in 1969.
