Cloverdale Petroglyph Boulder

Friends,

We don’t provide precise directions to this fabulous example of Native American rock art but it’s right on the Russian River.

These signs and cupules had (have) meanings and value.

We just don’t know what.

Note the Continental Shelf extending out into the ocean.

We believe it could have been inhabited long before current estimates of early human habitation.

You can see the outflow of the Great Sacramento River before there was a San Francisco Bay, remembered today in oral histories.
