Kyburz Flat Petroglyphs (Sierra County, California)


Last stop of the day is at the Kyburz Flat Interpretive Site, specifically to see a petroglyph panel. Again, my directions and the information panels guide me right to the site. The panel here was once a solid piece of stone, but at some point in the distant past, it split into three and collapsed. The panel itself is simply a large number cupules drilled into the stone. The purpose of cupules is debated by scholars, but I suspect there were a remnant of some daily function of the ancient peoples.
