They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1][2] Some time before recorded history, people in Wisconsin's Driftless Area climbed partway up a bluff above a river and carved marks on a sheltered spot in a sandstone wall. Some of the marks are indecipherable, but others depict animals: a fish, a deer or elk, a thunderbird, a heron or crane, a buffalo, a lizard, and a deer or antelope. The largest animal is twelve inches tall. The deepest carvings are nearly a half inch deep and the shallowest are only faintly visible. Some of the images have been damaged by modern initial-cutters.[3] Nearby, more marks are cut into a seven-foot sandstone boulder. The top and one side are cut with various arrangements of vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines - all abstract, with no animals.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref| version = 2010a| dateform = mdy}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Lemonweir Glyphs|url=https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/NationalRegister/NR1205|publisher=Wisconsin Historical Society|accessdate=2017-11-20}} 3. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Brown|first1=Charles E.|title=Petroglyphs at the Mouth of the Lemonweir River|journal=Wisconsin Archeologist|date=1937|volume=17|issue=4|pages=76-78}} 4 : Archaeological sites on the National Register of Historic Places in Wisconsin|Buildings and structures in Juneau County, Wisconsin|Historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Wisconsin|National Register of Historic Places in Juneau County, Wisconsin |
