There are also petroglyphs depicting mountain goats, boat anchors, shooting and scenes of war, and scenes of deer hunting in individual and

The rock-carved figures of animals and associated tools are regarded as good clues to help shed light on daily life in the distant past,
though some figures might be symbolic.AFM
