Rock Art Center

Tel: +1 623 582 8007
Rock Art is a term used for designs made on rocks or on the earth's surface by people in
the past.Petroglyphs are designs made by carving or scratching away the dark layer of rock
varnish on a rock's surface to reveal the lighter rock underneath. Rock varnish is a thin
layer of tiny clay particles, which are deposited on rocks in desert environments. These
clay particles are attached to rock surfaces by bacteria that live there. Manganese in the
clay gives rock varnish a dark color. In time, the color of the exposed interior becomes
more like the color of the surface because of the rock varnish's re growth.
