Beschreibung:

Photograph by Frank S. Davis, September 11. The author stated: " One of them is dated September 11, 1893; the other two were taken the winter following. I do not remember to have copied any previous photographs or drawings in making my markings on the rock. Going back to my school days, I can remember going to the rock and taking chalk and marking in the lines. There would be a number of us and we would all work at it and talk about what they were put there for. So you see I had seen the lines marked in a good many times. Then in after years I got a camera and got quite interested in taking pictures. One of the photographs I made for some one who was writing a book at that time, but cannot remember the name of the writer or that of the book.

I expect that I marked quite a few lines on the rock which were never put on by the maker; also that there were quite a few marks put on by the maker which I did not mark in. The rock was so worn away that it was very hard to trace the markings, and not knowing what the figures were one had to use his own ideas in connecting the markings. You will notice the one taken in September is not as complete as the one taken later; possibly it is nearer right than the one taken the following winter which I tried to fill in more. The marks low down on the photo I do not think amount to much." source

Der Dighton Rock ist ein Monolith, der ursprünglich im Flussbett des Taunton River in der Nähe der Kleinstadt Berkley im US-Bundesstaat Massachusetts lag. Die Region heißt „Assonet Neck“, eine zwischen dem Taunton River und dem Assonet River liegende Landspitze. Seine Nordwestseite ist über und über mit rätselhaften Petroglyphen bedeckt, überwiegend sind es Linien, geometrische Symbole, grobe Zeichnungen menschlicher oder menschenähnlicher Figuren und geheimnisvolle Schrift(?)-Zeichen, deren Alter nicht bekannt ist und die bislang nicht entschlüsselt sind. .. weiterlesen
