- Title: Dinwoody Anthro
- Description: Evidence suggests that most of the Legend Rock petroglyphs were made by the ancestors of today’s Eastern Shoshone tribe. The Legend Rock petroglyphs closely resemble rock images found elsewhere in the Bighorn and nearby Wind River Basins, principally at Dinwoody Lake. They are stylistically similar to petroglyphs found in the Great Basin, and particularly to rock art sites found in the Coso Range of southern California. All of these areas were once occupied by Numic-speaking tribes. Some of the images were incrementally modified over several thousand years, suggesting the unbroken expression of a persistent cultural tradition. Finally, although the site is known to both the Crow and Northern Arapaho, ethnographic interviews conducted with representatives of several tribes in the region demonstrate that the Shoshone feel most closely connected to Legend Rock.
