SS Panel, UT. An impressive Barrier Canyon Style panel, roughly dated between 1500-7000 years old. This Archaic style has many trademark characteristics, mostly pictographs painted in red ochre, elongated bodies often missing limbs, animal companions… It would take multiple posts to list all the specifics associated with this style, but the overall feeling I get from BCS imagery is “otherworldly”.
This panel is not an easy one to get to, located up an extremely steep talus slope with barely any level surfaces to stand on once you reach the top. Whoever created this one wanted the image to be seen from a distance. The figures loom over the canyon like sentries.
The large rectangular glyph (Slide 1) could be a zoomorph whose limbs have washed away. The zoomorph in Slides 3 & 4 could be a bear or possibly a domesticated dog. I especially like the handprints below the panels that almost look like the creator wiped their fingers on the wall after painting the images

EAT THE CARP!
Good for gefilte fish... and more!
By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs
The US Fish and Wildlife Service's creative and innovative outreach dates back more than a century, as shown in this 1911 "EAT THE CARP!" poster imploring Americans to embrace, fish, and eat the heavily proliferating carp. The poster is a brilliant appeal to turn of the century foodies! (NARA holds millions of records from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Record Group 22, dating back to 1868!)
"Catch the carp; buy the carp, cook the carp properly and eat it. Eat the roe; can the roe. Make carp jelly. Can the fish. Smoke it too."
Need more encouragement? Carp: something for everyone!
For keto fans: "This meat is wholesome and nutritious. It contains as much protein as sirloin steak."
Got GI issues? "It is easily digestible."
For followers - join the pack! "Somebody ate the 43,000,000 pounds of carp. Therefore the carp must be good to eat."
EAT ME! Original caption: "This fish is in trouble. A Big Muddy National Wildlife Refuge (MO) employee holds an Asian carp, (Invasive species), for the camera." Records of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, NARA ID 166692514.
More CARP records!
