| Zusammenfassung: | Detailed figure recording in 2002 indicates engraved figures are suffering from erosion caused by wind-blown sand from adjacent well pad construction. Approximately 27% of one figure has been lost in the last 20 years. Eventual loss of the two remaining horse figures will amount to loss of about 10% of all known North American armored horse petroglyphs, and 20% of those recorded on the northern Plains. Management agencies should consider mitigative measures for such sites during project planning and permitting. |
