Fremont Indian Rock Art Anthropomorphic Figures
The Fremont people lived across much of Utah and into neighboring states from about 300 to 1300 CE. They grew corn while still hunting and gathering, and are known for their clay figurines and distinctive rock art. Fremont figures are often trapezoid-shaped, with horned or elaborate headdresses, necklaces and shields, along with bighorn sheep and other animals. Nine Mile Canyon has one of the largest concentrations of Fremont rock art.
The largest figure holds a fringed shield and possibly a head or scalp. The dark, skeletal figure on the right is in low relief, a technique I've only seen here.
Three Kings Panel
The "weeping-eye" motif, also seen on other figures in the area.
Snakes are common in the Barrier Canyon Style, handprints are commonly Puebloan, and both are on a Fremont panel. The form on the lower right appears to be a shield.
This larger than life-size figure is hidden behind a rock wall, below a granary.
One of the many small-waisted anthropomorphic figures in Nine Mile Canyon, this one with comb-like antlers and a kilt. Notable is the hole in the heart, which may be a coincidence or could have been added later.
This warrior holds a spiral shield and maybe a scalp or head.
The larger figure was pecked over the top of other forms.
The panel sits above the banks of a small river and the form at the bottom may be a net. Interesting too are the three arcs above the three larger human-like figures.
