Western Message Petroglyphs

If you zoom into this photo, you can see a few petroglyphs faintly carved on the surface boulder that was reportedly relocated from Vargas Plateau. In front of it are a few rocks with grinding mortars. They are located at the Ohlone cemetery fenced off restricted from public access. These petroglyphs are referred as Western Message Petroglyphs. According to some academic studies, they are most likely influenced by the European pioneers. Here is one of the article describing these glyphs: www.utahrockart2.org/pubs/proceedings/papers/36-02-Hilbis...
