Argyle Canyon (Duchesne County, Utah, US)notes A portion of the large panel in Argyle Canyon, a tributary to Nine Mile Canyon. The white areas may be due to residue left from chalking by early researchers. Nine Mile Canyon is actually a 40 mile long canyon in Carbon and Duchesne Counties in Utah. It is in the Fremont cultural complex area of Utah, but much disagreement exists as to the stylistic classification of individual panels, as many different groups visited Nine Mile Canyon over some 6,000 years, from the Archaic period to to the historic Utes. The Numic speaking Utes are thought to have replaced the Fremont, who may have been related to modern day Hopi in Arizona and other Puebloan people, especially the Jemez people of New Mexico, but there is much disagreement on that point as well. The Fremont were thought to be in the canyon from from about A.D. 1050-1250 (1300), but the Fremont culture prospered in Utah from about A.D. 250 to about A.D. 1250. The petroglyphs in Nine Mile Canyon bear little resemblance to the nearby 'Classic Vernal Style' Fremont drawings or others found in Capitol Reef and other areas of south western central Utah.keywords: archeology, petroglyph, rock art, native american, Fremont, Archaic, Ute
