A stop over

The Rochester Panel near Emery, Utah contains an interesting calendar observatory that was created by the Fremont people. Physicist Nal Morris and a group of fellow physicists researched this site in 1983. Their conclusion was this panel "is numbered among the most mindful and intentionally executed road art panels in the region".

After much conjecture, computer analysis and testing, they discovered that a pole (gnomon) placed at a very specific spot in front of the panel would cast very clear shadows on specific petroglyphs on the panel marking the summer solstice, the equinox, the winter solstice, and the cross quarters (mid-points between solstice and equinox). The images to the right show the markers for these events. They are located directly above their location on the panel.
