What are pictographs? What are pictograms? No,it's not Jeopardy! Pictograms are etchings in rock, pictographs are paintings on rock - often using red ochre, anthropologists' favorite substance....
The Grand Gallery painting (above) is in Canyonlands National Park, Utah in a fairly isolated area. Speculation is that a ritual or shamanistic activity is depicted.
