Roche-A-Cri Cave Art Trip October 26, 2010

Anthropologist Dave Lowe has uncovered 91 previously unknown sites where prehistoric native art has been carved into or painted onto the surface of sandstone bedrock. These art works consist of geometric shapes, animal and plant forms, and hunting scenes in the overhanging stone shelters and fissure caves that sheltered prehistoric Wisconsin Indians. Join Dave on an exploration of the cave art in Roche-A-Cri State Park, the only publicly owned prehistoric cave art in the state. The 605 acre park has a 300-foot-high rock outcropping with a wooden stairway to the top.
