The lightening of rock colour can be caused by chalcedon, meaning opal is a silica precipitate that dissolves from the rock surface and precipitates as it dries back to the surface of the rock, forming an opal film on it.

In the southern parts of the lake, the slow tilting of the lake basin had pushed the water level higher and higher and eventually water flooded over damming strains.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

A ditch ribbed by the flood developed into the lake a new landing bog which, as it deepened, lowered the surface of the lake and revealed new rock surface to be painted.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

As a result of falling water levels, some painting sites were omitted and new ones began to be used.

Saimaa has also been rife with new declines, the most famous of which is the outbreak of Vuoksi in 3700 BCE. [2] What patterns are there in the paintings?


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Patterns in rock paintings are not considered art in which the artist expresses himself freely, but as communication in which the painter marks symbols on stone.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

There are a limited number of characters and can be studied, for example, by grouping them by topic.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some patterns occur in groups whose combinations apparently have some meaning.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

However, a solution of pictorial writing, such as the interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, cannot be hoped for in relation to rock paintings.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[11] The large number of rock paintings (about 130 pieces) does not indicate a large number of patterns.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

There are only 9 items over 10 characters, six of which have more than 20 characters and three of which have more than 50 characters.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Of the minuscule number, about 200, or more than half are human signs and 140 are signs showing elk or deer.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The staticism of the characters is striking.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

In only three targets, moose appear to run.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The paintings do not present the images that the author would have outlined, but the author has always known in advance what the figure would be like.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

This may tell you that only some members of the community were allowed to make signs on the rock.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[8] [12] Human figures Human figures, or anthropomorphic patterns, is the most common type of pattern.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Human characters might play a human or a human-looking creature.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Most human characters are depicted as stick-humps devoid of any additional traits.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The character's hands are either raised, thus speaking of an adorantic figure (), or below.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

For some characters, a bow or rods are painted on the hand.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The head is often dot-shaped or ringed.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some characters have a triangular mask, or a head with eye spots.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Horns may have been added to the head or it has been depicted like an animal's head.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Gender IDs are extremely rarely.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

A woman may have breasts and a man a penis, but even these interpretations are subjective.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Featured stick-hubs are a weak signal in communication, so the position of the legs or hands, for example, might mean something special.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

If the character is depicted head down, it has a special meaning.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[13] Elk and deer Elk and deer form the second most common group.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Both have been common, but it has been difficult to distinguish between patterns which is the question.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

However, some painters have added a touch of realism to their images and thus the identifiable features of the elk's head and body lines have been distinguished.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Although both species have horns for part of the time of year, so only in three or four images do they occur.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

According to the interpretation, hornlessness is due to the depiction of the animal as a spring animal.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some moose have a so-called heart spot marked on the chest.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[13] Boats or horns Boats or horns form the third largest group.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Since the patterns are symbolic and there has been no attempt to emphasise realism, there is room for interpretations.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some of the researchers regard the patterns as horns and some as boats.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The patterns are simply a wide arc with a set of vertical lines drawn just as in a comb.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The lines are thus either the crew of the boat or the thorns of the horn.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some of the patterns clearly resemble leather boats, which even have a bow ornament.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

One boat has been painted under feet.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

On the other hand, some patterns are painted above the head of the moose so that the impression becomes antlers.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

But horns might also present a boat, as if the boat was born or made of a large horn.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[13] Other A fairly common sign is the press of a damp palm on the stone.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

In the latter case, they have depicted the saman's journeys between worlds in a trance and the things he experienced in connection with it.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Consequently, rock paintings have embodied a three-tiered worldview.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The rock paintings were at the water's edge because the water was thought to reflect the route or level that separated the normal world from the lower, the world of the dead.

The samani passed into the subworld through water, whose rippling surface illustrated the fading difference between life and death.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Samaani was also able to travel down the river in a trance to the sub-world.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

He used his own spirit of help, or soul animals, and the journey was also refracted by boat.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Saman's travels between different worlds and metamorphosis from human to animal are depicted in rock paintings.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The rock paintings were on the borderlands of access routes and communities.

[14] [15] Discovery and research history History of discovery The first rock painting discovery in Finland was announced by composer Jean Sibelius in 1911 in Vitträsk, Kirkkonummen, but its authenticity was not verified until 1917.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

However, most rock images have not been found until the 1960s and 70s and 1990s.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Another painting is the rock painting of Juusjärvi, discovered in 1963.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

As the media drew people's attention to rock images, the number of sightings began to increase rapidly.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

For example, in 1966, Valkeissaari was found in Taipalsaari, which was the first painting found on Saimaa.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

In 1968, the Astuvansalmi painting field was found in Ristiina, Finland's most internationally famous site.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

A record 12 new painting sites were noted in 1975.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Searching was subject to search competitions, among other things.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

In 2003, a search expedition was directed to Päijät-Häme, when six new sites were discovered.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

[16] [17] [7] Documentation Documentation of paintings is important for two reasons.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

It has been found that air pollution thins the film that protects paintings and exposes the paintings to weather-induced erosion.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

On the other hand, the film also makes the painting blurry, whereby the observation made at the opportune moment reveals the different features of the pattern better.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The transparency of the film strongly depends on air and rock temperature, humidity, and the direction and quantity of light input.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Documenting the pattern several times, material useful for research is obtained.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

[18] [12] Paintings have been documented in various ways.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The easy way has been to copy the painting through the plastic film laid out on the rock surface with crayon.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The method is used to recover the patterns in their natural size, making it easy to measure them afterwards.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The habit is forbidden nowadays because you can't touch the painting anymore.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Photography is thus the only permitted method of documentation.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Some people have taken a paper photograph of the subject and coloured the pattern of the painting on it.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The way is very subjective, but allows for highlighting low-visibility parts.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The same can be done with digital photographs, where the photo editor can highlight different shades of red.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

In doing so, faint details of the faded paintings may have been revealed.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

[18] [19] [20] [6] Scientific research Rock paintings cannot be studied using concepts of art alone.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The symbolism of the images does not leave the expression much to explore.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

Instead, the place of discovery and the reasons that led to its selection, the identification of the authors of the images, the age of the painting, the properties of the dye, the means of making, the reasons for preservation, the authenticity of the painting, the form language of the characters and their explanation, the origin and distribution of the signs are topics worth exploring.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

The study of rock images is a multidisciplinary project for which archaeology, geology, anthropology, religious science and art studies can provide support to each other in their interpretation.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

[11] Research on rock paintings is very young and limited in Finland.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Although the rock painting is clearly marked as a place in the terrain where ancient humans operated, not many archaeological excavations have been carried out at the painting sites.


Question: How far is Nastola from Helsinki?

Finnish rock paintings

The first excavations have been carried out in Valkeisaari, where the second excavations by Antti Lahelma took place in 2004 and several underwater excavations have been carried out in front of the Astuvansalmi rock paintings, the last of which was carried out by Juhani Grönhagen in 1992.
