Barrier Canyon Style: Thousands of Years of Painting on Rock by Phil Geib, associate professor of practice in the School of Global Integrative Studies, was recently published by The University of Utah Press.
Barrier Canyon Style (BCS) is primarily Indigenous American pictographs in the canyon country of eastern Utah and far western Colorado. This book, the first to focus solely on the art and its context, explores twenty of the most important BCS sites. Explanations of motif classifications, details on the chronology of human occupation in the area, techniques used by Native people, and styles and subject matter observable in these artworks are included.
