Jacob's Rock is located near the small town of Snowball in Searcy County,
Arkansas. The site consists of a large v-shape boulder believed to have fallen from the adjacent hillside thousands of years ago. The outward end of the boulder forms an overhang approximately 30 feet deep and 25 feet wide. A series of unusual pictographs are painted on the rock wall beneath the overhang. The pictographs were finger-painted with a red pigment (ochre) and include a variety of motifs including geometric and abstract forms along with a sunburst, a cresent moon, and a series of "turkey tracks." We chose Jacob's Rock as the

next candidate to be scanned because of the site's accessibility and also because it is part of a contextual landscape that is much different than previously scanned sites.
