Rock Art of the Upper Ohio Valley
by James L. Swauger
On CD-ROM in PDF format for use with Adobe Reader


Copyright 1974 Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt, Graz, Austria.
Reproduced with permission.  Digitization and CD production by AKF, Inc., Pittsburgh.

Rock Art In 1974, James L. Swauger published the landmark book Rock Art of the Upper Ohio, which still stands today as the most comprehensive study of Native American petroglyphs in this area.  Since the book had a limited print run and was produced in Austria, it was difficult to obtain in the United States, even when it first appeared.  I therefore considered it a rare opportunity when I purchased a copy in mint condition at a recent Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology meeting.  I then launched an effort to digitize this copy so that future researchers would be able to access Swauger’s work more easily.  Although the enclosed CD doesn’t match the grandeur of the original 10 ¾” x 14 ¼” hardcover version (printed in black and white), the information and images are captured for your benefit.  All proceeds from the sale of this CD benefit the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology.
