Lookout Cave
Zortman Montana 59546
Lookout Cave contains north-central Montana’s largest assemblage of pictographs, which, combined with the cultural materials also found there, are of enormous value in understanding the pre-contact cultures of the Northern Plains. The cave’s twenty identified rock art panels depict paint smears, lines, handprints, an outline bison at the rear wall of the inner chamber, and more than twenty anthropomorphs.
The composition of the assemblage combined with the remote setting strongly suggests that it does not represent a conventional campsite/habitation site, but instead a ceremonial complex predominantly dating to the Late Prehistoric Period.
