  • Gallery: Patents Pending Science Bench – Level 3
  • Description: Look closely at photographs of ancient rock writing found across Nevada. These images matter to Native nations, including Southern Paiute and Western Shoshone communities. Practice how to visit: look with your eyes, do not touch the rock, and leave the site as you found it.
