Kanozero Petroglyphs, Archaeological site at Lake Kanozero, Tersky District, Russia.
The Kanozero Petroglyphs feature 1300 distinct rock carvings spread across 18 groups on three islands and a mainland rock near Lake Kanozero.
Archaeological discoveries from 1997 revealed these rock engravings, dating back to 4000-2000 BC, marking a significant prehistoric settlement in northern Europe.
The petroglyphs depict various scenes created by sea-hunting tribes during the Neolithic period, providing evidence of their nomadic lifestyle and artistic practices.
The site maintains a protective dome over the largest collection on Kamenny Island, with museum staff conducting guided tours for visitors throughout the year.
An exhibition hall in the town of Umba displays detailed information about the rock art complex, complementing the on-site experience with additional context.
