Documentation of the pictographs revealed what remains today: images of six deer (arranged as a group of two deer and a larger group), several vertical lines, and an anthropomorphic (human-like) figure, all in red pigment. The anthropomorphic figure is faint, but may be holding a stick-like object - perhaps an atlatl (or spearthrower - a tool used to extend the range of a thrown spear).
Pigment analysis and photographic enhancement suggested that the images may have been painted at different times and by more than one person. The pigment is an iron oxide mineral mixed with a clay and gypsum binder. Use of the latter is especially interesting, as Native artists would have carried the gypsum to the Letcher County region from elsewhere in the state. It is very difficult to date the pictographs, but experts have dated similar examples to after 1000 AD.
