Project Description
Largo Canyon is in the heart of Dinetah, the Navajo name for the birthplace of Navajo culture. Largo Canyon is a major drainage in the San Juan Basin, which is located in Northwest New Mexico, USA.
The rock art of Largo Canyon drainage is unique. It contains the earliest rock art images of Spanish contact with native peoples of the Colorado Plateau: representing both Navajo and Anasazi cultures. There are several hundred panels of Navajo and Anasazi petroglyphs and dozens of pictograph panels containing several thousand individual figures. Most pictographs are 17th century Navajo.
The eight CD set contains 160 images from 3 side canyons: Crow, Delgadito, and Blanco Canyons. To the best of the photographer/authors knowledge, all the rock art located in these canyons are documented. Each photograph carries a unique 8-digit number that locates the rock art panel.
