Anthropomorphic rock art figures occur frequently at rock art sites in the middle Mimbres River Valley of New Mexico. During survey in 1987, 23 sites with rock art were recorded, 11 of which have anthropomorphic figures. Most of these figures can be attributed to the Jornada Style, dated at roughly A.D. 1000–1400. Thes figures range from full-body images to masks. The so-called Tlaloc figures have no counterpart representation on Mimbres Classic Black-on-white pottery vessels, and it is suggested that they and certain other figures might be images involved in ritual efforts to bring rain and, thus, alleviate agricultural stress
