Jerry Spangler's Gallery

Dick Gordon spoke with archaeologist Jerry Spangler on September 20, 2007. Jerry works in Utah in areas around Nine Mile Canyon and Range Creek in an effort to document damage to petroglyphs, or rock art, and other archaeological artifacts. Nine Mile Canyon has recently been opened to natural gas and oil companies for drilling. Damage is caused by the plumes of dust that company trucks kick up, the public's recreational use of ATV's, and some who do direct damage to the petroglyphs or simply remove artifacts from the sites. Below are images of the archaeological sites and some of the damage done.
