Rattlesnake Canyon site (Oregon)

The Rattlesnake Canyon site was recorded before 1971 by the student archaeological teams working each summer in the John Day River drainage. The site is situated on private property and is not open to the public.



A red pictograph associated with a small rock shelter in an area called Rattlesnake Canyon. I made a 1:1 copy of the tracing during the summer of 1971; the original tracing was stored at Camp Hancock in Fossil, Oregon. The tracing measures 17.5 cm tall and 18.5 cm wide. The research was under the direction of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
