ARARA presents... In 2014, Tom McCormick, a rancher living near Cut Bank, Montana, reported a rock art site he had found on his property. Jim Keyser and the Oregon Archaeological Society Rock Art Research Group investigated the site and assisted with inventorying other parts of the Cut Bank area. In the ensuing six years, with the assistance of McCormick and the Blackfeet Nation we recorded seven previously unknown sites and worked with three other previously located sites. New discoveries have opened windows into the Vertical Series, Foothills Abstract, and Plains Biographic rock art traditions. James D. Keyser is a Montana native, having grown up on the Flathead Indian Reservation. His interest in rock art began at age nine and he participated in his first rock art recording project in 1973. He earned his BA (1972) and MA (1974) degrees in anthropology from the University of Montana and his PhD in anthropology from the University of Oregon in 1977. See more information here.
