UGA’s Laboratory of Archaeology stewards two petroglyph boulders Decades ago, two petroglyph boulders were donated to the University of Georgia. Adorned with spiral designs, and other motifs, these boulders are a testament to Georgia's Native American heritage. The smaller petroglyph boulder, also known as “Squirrel Rock”, was originally found in White County on the slopes of Squirrel Mountain. Squirrel Rock was donated to the University of Georgia sometime between 1930 and 1950. It was originally placed in the yard of Lustrat House on the University’s main campus before being moved to the walled garden of the Law School in the 1960s.
