• • page 3 of 4 <br />line of the shoulders. The left one angles downward somewhat. The legs are <br />narrow and simply continuations of the lateral body lines. They become <br />indistinguishable before their lower termini. <br />The "mouth" consists of a straight, generally horizontal grooved line, with <br />seven "teeth" each on the upper and lower "lips". The teeth are formed by <br />narrow, shallow, short grooves. <br />Impacts/vandalism: Erosion (rain, etc.) and fading appears to have removed <br />the pigment from the lowest parts of this figure. Other than that, natural <br />impacts to this figure are not apparent. <br />The "P" and "L" from the word "TEMPLE" are scratched across the legs of <br />this figure. This inscription is scratched, apparently with a sharp, hard <br />instrument. <br />Cortunents: This is the smallest figure of the panel. <br />FIGURE 4: <br />Type of Figure: Anthropomorph <br />Condition: Figure 4 is complete. It is also extremely hard to see. some <br />vandalism impacts the figure, as does some natural Fracturing of the cliff face. <br />Medium: Abraded. This entire figure is formed by abrasion of the surface <br />of the cliff face. This abrasion has served to smooth the rough prominences of <br />the sandstone and is thus not continuous in coverage. No direction of abrasion <br />is apparent. <br />The eyes on this figure have been pecked. The mouth is grooved, with <br />possible pecking prior to final grooving of the mouth opening, <br />Features: This anthropomorph has a head with eyes and a mouth, short <br />stubby arms, and a long, narrow, slightly trapezoidal body with no legs. <br />The head is broad, rounded and slightly flattened, on a short neck. The <br />body is tall and narrow and tapers slightly; there are almost no shoulders. The <br />bottom of the figure is simply a slightly rounded truncation of the body. No <br />legs are present. <br />The arms are very short and stubby, the right one protruding nearly <br />straight out from the body, the left angling down slightly. <br />The eyes are wide set, small, and pecked. The mouth is formed by a pecked <br />and then grooved horizontal line, with five "teeth" each on the upper and lower <br />"lips". The "teeth" are short, narrow, shallow grooves. <br />Impacts/vandalism: Two natural cracks cross this figure. One extends <br />vertically across the right shoulder. The other extends at an angle across the <br />lower body. This latter crack has had small pieces either exfoliated or removed <br />from along it through much of the figure. A "B" has been scratched over the left <br />edge of the body. A small arrow has been scratched adjacent to the side of the <br />body, pointing toward it. The first "E" from the word "TEMPLE" is scratched over <br />the lower body. The word "Pudgie" has been scratched across the lowermost part <br />of the body. All these scratched inscriptions and figures are made with a sharp, <br />hard instrument. <br />Comments: This is the only abraded figure on the panel. It is extremely <br />difficult to see and had not been noted prior to this most recent site visit. <br />It is best seen when the sunlight shines directly down the cliff face (near noon <br />in the summer). <br />General Co~mnents: The original site form suggests that the facial features on <br />these figures are more recent additions or vandalism; this does not appear to be <br />the case. The similarity of all the facial features on this panel, and their <br />condition, suggest that these were part of the original panel, or perhaps a <br />
