- Title: Spirit Figure Detail
- Description: This small cliff face harbors one of the most important rock art sites in Utah. Researcher Polly Schaafsma (1999) says that the Sego Pictographs represent shamanistic art associated with ritual activities of the Archaic people. Ms Schaafsma points to the fact that the ‘spirit figures’ are frequently shown holding snake forms, and their torsos sometimes incorporate water/life-giving symbols. The presence of these types of relational (figure/animal) motifs is considered to be evidence that there was a shamanistic tradition alive, at least during a certain period of time, among these Western Archaic people.
