Courtney Smith
Style, What is it Good For?
An Overview of the Rock Art in the
Great Basin & Surrounding Areas
There are probably tens of thousands of rock art sites in Western North America and as many as a million individual panels. Rock art researchers have used a stylistic approach to compare images from different areas. Let's take a tour around the Great Basin and surrounding areas and kick around the style can. A rich variety of rock art imagery will be presented.
Courtney Smith grew up in Reno and has been living in the Owens Valley for the past several decades. You will typically find him on weekends, holidays, and vacations rambling the West in search of mountain and desert glories.
