January Presentation with Dennis Devore

Canines in Rock Art-Wolves, Coyotes, and Mostly Dogs By Dennis DeVore
Starting about 11,000 years ago, canine figures began to appear in the rock art of western North America. These images include true domestic dogs and the common wild species, wolves and coyotes. This presentation will explore the canine variations, with examples as depicted in the rock art. In addition, Dennis hypothesizes that domestic dogs and their human companions perhaps became a "superior hunting duality", hunting bighorn sheep and deer.
Dennis DeVore has had a lifelong interest in rock art and is a former board member of both URARA and the Chipeta Chapter of CAS in Montrose.
