Bald Friar Rock Art Site, Maryland

Petroglyphs from the Bald Friar rock art site are in the collection of the Historical Society of Cecil County and Historical Society of Harford County, Maryland. The petroglyphs were removed from the Susquehanna River Valley before the creation of the Conowingo reservoir in 1927. Lenik (2004:290 - 307) provides a wonderful discussion of the site.
