A remarkable collection of photographs of Nevada's petroglyphs, intended by the Peter Goin as a study laid out for serious students of the archaeological record, while also recognizing the pervasive amateur interest. The images themselves are the artifacts of fieldwork conducted throughout the back roads, valleys, summits, drainages, and mountain ridges of Nevada, from the northernmost wildlife refuge to the sun-blasted southern tip of creosote-bush country.

Includes essays by Peter Goin (Professor of Art in Photography at the University of Nevada and President of the Black Rock Institute), Angus R. Quinlan (archaeologist and Executive Director of the Nevada Rock Art Foundation) and Dr. Alanah Woody (co-founder of the Nevada Rock Art Foundation), Paul F. Starrs (Foundation Professor of Geography at the University of Nevada), and an Epilogue by Mark Boatwright (a professional archaeologist and the national conservation area archaeologist for the Bureau of Land Management's Las Vegas District), and a selected bibliography of suggested reading.
