location
McConkie Ranch. Dry Fork Canyon. Near Vernal (Uintah County, Utah, US)notes Petroglyph carved into Navajo Sandstone by Native Americans of the Fremont Culture. This petroglyph is an example of the fully developed Classic Vernal style. The figure is holding a head or a mask, indicated by the 'weeping eye' motif commonly seen in Classic Vernal glyphs. This panel and several others with figures holding heads in a similar manner have caused speculation that the Fremont were headhunters, but archeological evidence to support that idea is scant.keywords: anthropology, petroglyph, Native American, Fremont Culture, anthropomorph, anthromorph
