The use of parfleche bags by Native Americans has not been studied by many scholars, especially depictions of parfleche. By analyzing the representation of parfleche images at the Vista Verde site and researching the production and use of parfleche, I aim to learn about why these images may have been produced and what their placement may tell archaeologists about the use of the site and the landscape. Parfleche images are not only a trend at the Vista Verde site, but are also clustered together at the site as well, I show that this clustering is significant and could provide archaeologists with information on the use of parfleche within Comanche culture, as well as the use of this landscape. By pairing the use of material objects with the use of a space, I aim to show how the details in rock art imagery can be used to learn more about a group of people and their use of a landscape.
