Abstrakt: Veratic, Bison, and Jaguar are familiar Birch Creek Valley sites that are routinely included when discussing early archaeology of Idaho and the Northwest. While extensive material is published regarding these sites, little mention is made of the pictographs found in association with the other archaeological features. The recording and evaluation of pictographs from these and other valley sites shows a similarity of style elements from the Columbia Plateau and Great Plains. Contributing to the existing archaeology of Birch Creek Valley, a chronology of these images presents a continuum of cultural information from the late Archaic through the Historic period that demonstrates a greater cultural diversity in this valley than previously acknowledged.
