This photograph shows a petroglyph boulder at an archaeological site near Lake Pleasant, located northwest of Phoenix. A similar petroglyph boulder was reported missing from the site in April 2003, and a criminal investigation ensued. ACS conducted the site damage assessment, which involved identifying, photographing, and remapping the features at the site, and documenting the damage around the location of the original petroglyph boulder. Fortunately, the petroglyph boulder was recovered in September 2003.
