Bloody River Petroglyph Site

At least two dozen petroglyphs are found on both sides of a narrow canyon cut by Bloody River on the island of St. Kitts.


Two petroglyph faces/masks on the vertical face of the Bloody River canyon. It is lucky that a few of the petroglyphs were not outlined in paint; scale is 10 cm.

Selfie taken by Professor Fuller after getting back to the Carib bar near the mouth of Bloody River; Neathery Fuller and our taxi driver (Mr. Calvin Leader) celebrate the day's good fortune. It was very fortunate that Mr. Leader knew where to leave me off to hike to the site and waited for my return; he is an excellent guide to his home - St. Kitts.
