Unearthing

<p>The petroglyphs of St. Vincent and the Grenadines embody iconic imagery created by the Amerindian peoples who arrived on the islands in dugout canoes from the Lower Orinoco region of South America. These stone carvings are set among cliffs streams and forest glades; they are carefully oriented to capture the light patterns of the sun shade stars and moon. The serenity of these sites suggests that they were sacred and ceremonial with much time devoted to their creation.</p><p></p>
