Nevada - Valley of Fire State Park:

Prehistoric Man

Valley of Fire petroglyph canyon

Valley of Fire was used by Basket Maker people and later by Anasazi Pueblo farmers in Moapa Valley. Estimated occupation dates back to 300 B.C. to 1150 A.D. Southern Paiutes inhabited this area during historical times. Hunting, food gathering, and religious ceremonies probably occurred during their visits. A lack of water would have limited their stay. Several sites within the park exist where these ancient people created rock art.
