Archaeology in Focus: The Vissotzky Petroglyphs

Join the Archaeological Society of Alberta for a deep dive into the Vissotzky Petroglyphs, a significant rock art site in northwest Montana. This lecture explores the site's more than 700 carvings, including animal trackways, human figures, and atlatls, offering a fresh look at late Archaic narrative compositions. Speaker James D. Keyser brings decades of rock art research to the table, highlighting the close chronological ties between the Vissotzky site and the Cranbrook site in southeastern British Columbia. With over 250 publications and eight books to his name, Dr. Keyser offers a detailed perspective on vision quest imagery and the cultural history of the region. Open to all ages, this presentation is part of the Calgary Public Library's 'Archaeology in Focus' series. Library membership is free and grants access to this event as well as books and meeting rooms.
