| The latest search is for a rock described as "....at Webster North Carolina, there is one large rock bearing numerous petroglyphs, rings cup-shaped depressions, fish-bone patterns, etc.." This was taken from a report by James Mooney to the Bureau of Ethnography and is the only known reference to this rock. That is why we need local help. Our best leads have come from folks who are interested in the history of their area and have been willing to share their knowledge. With just the above reference our search is like the proverbial needle in the haystack. We are hoping someone in the community may know of this rock or have heard stories about it. Perhaps the fish-bone pattern has to do with the Native American practice of arranging rocks in the river in a "fish weir" in order to trap them. This rock may be near a river or stream or on a bluff over looking a water source. |
