Author, Julian H. Steward
The author of this paper, Mr. Julian H. Steward, has been described in various journals as an anthropologist, an ethnographer and an archaeologist. He visited the Inyo location in 1929. This was prior to the major damage to Inyo by mining activities. His comments suggest a brief visit and not an extensive survey. Inyo is labled Number 41 in his survey notes. Some of the details he mentions have been removed or destroyed and no longer in existence on the location. The sketches he has provided are of a crude and general nature and not particulary accurate.

There are notable errors in the commentary made by J. C. Von Werlhof. For instance, he notes only three ram images (he calls them "sheep") when in fact there are at least seven. His conclusion states that Iny-272 is "well situated for a hunting site." However, the location is sterile of game of any sort and has been for at least the past 11,000 years. Contrary to his comment, the Owens Lake was not "fresh water." It was an alkaline salt lake. There is no evidence to support the claim that Iny-272 was hunting related.
Some conflict has arisen between professional archaeologists and epigraphers. Dr. Norman Totten has written an articulate response available by clicking HERE. Use your browsers BACK feature to return to this page.
