Abstract
It is known that some sites of rock art finds coexist with traces of mining: stone material for making tools, asbestos for ceramics, ocher for paint, etc. The petroglyphs of Kanozero also turned out to be associated with “mining”. So, near the group of petroglyphs Kamenny 5 on Kamenny Island, a rocky area was discovered where crystalline schist was mined, probably used to make stone tools. The article provides a description of the traces of mining at this rock outcrop, the stages of separating stone blocks that could be traced. A discussion is proposed regarding the connection of this mining of stone with making of petroglyphs. Recently discovered petroglyphs of this panel are also published.
