Petroglyph rubbing on burlap with red and pink ink. K. Meyers 7/17/2003 From "Descriptive Catalogue of Petroglyph Prints for the University of Washington, from The Dalles Dam Resevoir, 1956." by Mark Hedden, in Archaeology Archives: Series of face patterns called "sealheads" (according to local information) and geometric designs. Faces have large eyes, marked by concentric rings, curved eyebrows which join with a triangular nose, and no other features or outline. (Total number of faces: 3.) Geometric designs include: two series of concentric rings, one with center; two concentric arcs with a series of rays between.
Petroglyph rubbing on burlap with blue paint. K. Meyers 5/19/2003 From "Descriptive Catalogue of Petroglyph Prints for the University of Washington, from The Dalles Dam Resevoir, 1956." by Mark Hedden, Archaeology Archive: The design consists of a large face carved on a flat slanting surface of a boulder, which, from the orientation of the figure, may have, at one time, stood upright. Eyes are emphasized by irregular concentric circles with the outer rings touching, giving the face a distinctly cross-eyed expression. Two tendrile like lineur (sic) extensions appear above the eyes, unusually wavy for eyebrows, yet so irregular that it is difficult to consider another possibility. On the print, the tendrils suggest horns with a small arc between. Also clearer on the print, are two hands raised & spread on either side of the face and touching the lower ends of the outline. The outline is, roughly, an arc with rays and two flanges at the lower ends. Two upturned cheek (?) lines appear below the eyes and join at a short center vertical which may have been intended as the nose. Below this, a round, knoblike device suggests a mouth. While on the whole the design is clear enough as a face, the irregularity of so many of the features, & the uniqueness of the design itself, suggests that it may be composite in origin. The island is accessible by land only at very low water, and , at that time, the figure lies only five or six feet above the waterline.
