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/]]>
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/]]>
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/]]>
The upper plate shows a man with lance on horse fighting another man on foot armed with bow and arrows. The dotted line was badly eroded.

The lower plate was also eroded, but represents another man on horse and a bear claw is shown above him. Other figures are symbolic or unfinished and are impossible to identify. Both plates are from the Carr Ranch.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
The upper photograph shows a porcupine incised in sandstone on the Carr Ranch.

The lower plate shows an anthropomorphized figure at upper left. Note the pointed shoulders. The large animal is represented with the life-line from mouth to heart. Several zoomorphic figures may be seen below.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/]]> https://caspercollege.cvlcollections.org/collections/show/70]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/]]> https://caspercollege.cvlcollections.org/collections/show/9]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/]]> https://caspercollege.cvlcollections.org/collections/show/9]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/]]>
