Northern San Rafael Style Fremont 750 A.D. to 1250 A.D. Nine Mile Canyon, Carbon County
The central bulb-like shape in this panel is duplicated at the mouth of Parowan Gap in southwestern Utah. Is this the symbol for creation, the seed of being?
Ute storyteller, Larry Cesspooch, believes this is the mythic symbol for the source of all beings. The lines spring from the bulb, tying creatures and humans to the creator.
How ironic that what may be the record of Fremont mythic beginnings now lies unprotected in a cowboy corral. The BBC natural gas company bought this area in 2003.
