Both plates (Carr Ranch) are zoomorphic and represent deer and mountain sheep. The lower figure suggests a mule-deer. It is most interesting to note the lifeline on these animals which runs from the mouth to the heart. This is a common design found in the Southwest, especialy typical of Zuni pottery.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/]]>
Zoomorphic figure of an elk represented at the Medicine Creek Cave on the outside northwest wall. Note how natural the figure appears, even to details such as the dew-claws. Lichen was removed from the entire figure in order to chalk the lines and photograph.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/]]>
A poor photograph of the anthropomorphic female figure at the Medicine Creek Cave. The narrowness of the cave (3 & 1/2) ft.) would not permit a good picture. However the champ-leve style can clearly be seen. The "horns" belong to a figure which had been incised before this present one. An arrowshaft or lance pierces the woman's body and the reason for her death and the recording of this petroglyph can only be surmised. Since the female sign is so very obvious, it is possible she was deliberately killed, as adultery was not tolerated among the Plains Indians. Again, she may have been a prominent woman among her people and her death was mourned and recorded here. The designs upon the body may suggest decoration upon her costume.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/]]>
Petroglyphs located on the southeast wall of Medicine Creek Cave. The scale is the same as Plate 1. Again the zig-zag line represents the present floor level-leve. This entire plate belongs to the cave proper. The panel extends for twenty-nine feet in length and to a depth of five feet from the present floor-level, with an extension of two feet above.

The main figures are the following, reading from left to right: (1) square 7, beaver tails; (2) square 7 and 8, bear track with buffalo track superimposed; (3) square 8, female sign; (4) deer track two squares below this figure; (5) square 9, three bear tracks; (6) square 10, buffalo track; (7) square 14 and 15, mountain sheep horns; (8) buffalo head with three deeply cut tool-grooves across face (lower figure); (9) square 17, bird with arrowshaft thru body; (10) squares 16, 17 and 18, body of snake; (11) squares 18 and 19, head of buffalo; (12) square 20, turtle; (13) square 14 to 24 inclusive, body of snake eleven feet in length; (15) square 27m figure of bird. Best example of deep tool-grooves may be seen in squares 15, 16, 17 and 18.
