Oregon & Washington i Welcome n early 2010, President Obama announced America’s Great Outdoors initiative Ito conserve our cherished lands and encourage Americans to enjoy the outdoors. And in this I’m reminded of William Shakespeare’s quote, “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” Throughout my years of experience, this great notion still rings true. I can attest that Americans have grown closer by the simple virtue of spending time together in nature. And it is on this note that I am thrilled to present our 2009 edition of BLM Facts. Between 96 pages of photos, maps, and detailed facts, I’m very pleased to highlight the diversity of the BLM’s multiple use mission. We serve the public lands by accomplishing what is perhaps the most extensive range of duties by any one agency. BLM foresters use scientific methods to plan for a sustainable growth of trees which also provide a healthy environment while still affording Americans homes, offices, and jobs. Our recreation planners and interpretive specialists present inspirational educational events and breathtaking locations for Americans to visit and create long-lasting memories. Resource specialists care for our special areas protected under the National Landscape Conservation System. Scientists at the BLM complete crucial research using the most current data to ensure we maintain these lands for future generations.

To date seven discreet cultural components have been discovered at Marial, three have yielded C14 dates (2810±50BP, 5850±120BP, 6485±80BP, 8560±190BP) and six contained distinct projectile point types clustering within well defined temporal spans.

  • Petroglyph Boulders on the Rogue River at Two Mile Creek: Intentions and Actions, 1974-2015 ABSTRACT
    Petroglyph boulders on the Rogue River at Two Mile Creek: Intentions and Actions, 1974-2015 ABSTRACT. Petroglyph sites are rare in Oregon west of the Cascades. Southwest Oregon’s most important place with petroglyphs is a beach inundated during the high water low of the Rogue River. In recent decades Two Mile Creek’s petroglyph-bearing sandstone boulders have been honored, studied, ignored, damaged, lost, and removed. Today seven of the boulders are located in a park in Agness, their third location since removal in 1977. Sand, gravel, brambles, and moss cover ifty-nine in situ boulders. My primary purpose is not to analyze the place or the petroglyphs. Instead, I consider our ideas of this place and the petroglyphs and the resulting actions. With a focus on the period from 1974 to the present, 2015, I have assembled and will explicate material from diverse sources. Finally, I encourage the responsible state agencies to complete a baseline study leading to inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
