Petroglyphs of the Volcanic Tablelands
The tablelands border the northern end of Owens Valley, slightly slope to Round Valley, and reach to Mono Lake. Around 8,800 years ago, a culture inhabited the area we now know as Owens Valley. People pecked designs into these darker, exposed rocks. Petroglyphs differ from pictographs in that they are chipped with a harder stone into the dark surfaces of rock, as opposed to being painted on. The exposed inner rock lacks the darker oxidation of the exterior and provides the contrast that make the designs visible.
