Located in the Newberry mountains of the eastern Mojave Desert is a location known as Newberry Cave.  This is a very rugged area, with many caves located throughout the area.  However, this cave is significant due to it’s size and ancient Native American artifacts.  The cave itself has four chambers and goes about 150′ into the mountain.  Archaeologists have recovered several artifacts from this cave, including: twig figurines, crystals, wrapped feathers, dart points and lithic scatter.  Besides the artifacts, there are hundreds of pictographs located within the cave.  Most of the pictographs are located near the entrance.  What makes this really unique is the use of green pigment, which is quite rare.  The green was made by crushing the mineral celadonite.  Many of the pictographs are fading with time, but you can still see many of them.

Jon Harman, Ph D, developed a program called DStretch to help digitally enhance faded pictographs.  The gallery below include enhanced pictures using DStretch:
