Beginning at the center.
Day 6 – Stakes are set to locate the center and 16 radial points. String connects the center and a stake (used for scoring a line) at the radius for the center and the first path. Next, the radials are tied off to locate each change in direction.
Rock is collected from the site in various sizes with one dimension approximately 3 inches wide. The scored lines are deepened using each unique rock so that they set securely into the earth. Water compacts the soil at the end of the day.
More lines drawn, more rocks laid
After work is done for the day, water and compact.
Day 7 – Scoring, laying rock and watering continues.
Same process, another days work
Future home for a modern petroglyph
A pictograph on this rock will indicate the entrance to another alcove leading to the labyrinth. The landscape light will illuminate the sloped surface at night.
