Panel 2 is approximately 10.5m north-northeast of Panel 1, at a height of 80-89cm <br />above pgs. Although this panel (Plate 5) consists of abraded grooves similar to those of <br />Panel 1, these are clustered into two separate elements that possibly represent highly stylized <br />horse-and-riders—one facing to the left and one to the right. The panel measures 13.1cm wide <br />and 9.3cm high. <br />Panel 3, the main pictograph panel at the site (Plate 6), is approximately 2.0 to 5.5m <br />to the right (northeast) of Panel 2 and measures 260cm wide by 140cm in height. It is from <br />60 to 200cm above pgs. A majority of the elements are red (hematite, iron oxide, or ochre?) <br />paintings, two are of yellowish -brown (limonite or ochre?) pigment, and one of the <br />pictographs also exhibits pecked elements. <br />The main portion of the panel (Plate 7) appears to depict a battler perhaps more <br />accurately, a "massacre' —scene. In the center of this scene are three red painted <br />anthropomorphs that compare with Late Archaic -age Barrier Canyon Style figures (Cole <br />1990: 71 and Schaafsma 1971), as described by Cole as "immobile anthropomorphs with <br />broad shoulders and long tapered bodies... extremities and facial features are not emphasized <br />and may be missing (Cole 1990:71)." The figures in Panel 3—one exhibiting a solid -painted <br />body, one with a vertically -striped body, and one with an unpainted body; all with simple <br />short legs—are virtually identical to pictographs from numerous Barrier Canyon style sites, <br />including some from the White River drainage of northwestern Colorado (ibid:73). <br />Plate 5.
