Petroglyph: Solar Calendar Panel - a photo on Flickriver

Petroglyph: Solar Calendar Panel

            The Bar V Heritage Site is largest known petroglyph rock art site in the Verde Valley, as well as one of the best preserved. The Sinagua created these images between A.D. 900-1300.

This picture shows the what is known as the "Solar Panel," as it contains 10 concentric circle and snake-like glyphs that are generally ascribed as having astronomical meaning.  

The light and shadow effects on the Solar Panel are created by a trilogy of boulders wedged in a crevice in the rock face(see #1579). When the sun crests the bluff, the sunlight strikes the protruding boulders, resulting in a shaft of sunlight between two lines of shadow.   (12-01-30-1562a)
