Newspaper Rock is a petroglyph panel etched in sandstone that records approximately 2,000 years of early human activity. Prehistoric peoples, probably from the Archaic, Basketmaker, Fremont, and Pueblo cultures, etched on the rock from B.C. to A.D. 1300. In historic times, Utah and Navajo tribesmen, as well as Anglos, left their contributions. There are no known methods of dating rock art, and scholars remain undecided about the figures' meaning or have yet to decipher them. In Navajo, the rock is called "Tse' Hane'" (rock that tells a story). Whether the figures represent storytelling, doodling, hunting magic, clan symbols, ancient graffiti, or something else remains unknown, leaving much to individual admiration and interpretation.
