Rock Art in New England
Petroglyph, submerged for over a century, is found by local diver after a 25 year search. Sketches of them were made back in the 1800s, but unfortunately they are now underwater and covered by a thick layer of silt due to changes in river level due to dam construction. The petroglyphs are on an underwater ledge in the West River, close to its confluence with the Connecticut River.
