Judaculla Rock
Judaculla Rock is a curvilinear-shaped outcrop of soapstone with quarry scars and petroglyphs. It is located on a 0.85-acre rectangular-shaped property, owned by Jackson County, approximately 60 meters east of Caney Fork Creek, a major branch of the northwestward-trending Tuckasegee River, in the mountains of western North Carolina. The petroglyph boulder occurs within an artificially created bowl-shaped depression, which is currently covered with mowed grass (previously a corn field) and bordered on the west by a thicket of river cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Slightly upslope and east of the boulder are a few smaller outcroppings of soapstone bedrock, at least two of which show definite scars left by quarrying for soapstone bowl manufacture.
==Description==
The surface of the westward-slanting main boulder with petroglyphs, which measures roughly , also includes scars left by soapstone bowl extraction, both as stems within three depressions, and as three hollow scallops.〔Johannes Loubser and Douglas Frink. Heritage Resource Conservation Plan for Judaculla Rock, State Archaeological Site 31JK3, North Carolina. Stratum Report submitted to Jackson County, Sylva 2008〕 Numerous petroglyph designs are pecked and incised into the boulder. The densely packed nature of the motifs, especially along the upper two-thirds of the rock, in many instances makes it difficult to distinguish between motifs. Nonetheless, a minimum count of motifs is possible. Altogether, the following motifs have been identified: 1,458 cup marks; 47 curvilinear units; ten bowl-shaped depressions; ten stick-like figures; nine rills; three concentric rings designs; three curvilinear motifs; three deer tracks; two claw-like imprints; one arc; one cross-in-circle motif; and one winged shape.
