Description

From Field Examples ... 'Over the past two decades, at least 20 examples of 'rock art' resources impacted by wildland fires or vandalism have been reported within several States. While these examples are only a few from an unknown number of 'rock art' resources impacted by fires, they illustrate fire-generated impacts on different rock types and images, issues of fuel loading near archaeological resources, and postfire observations.'
