Abstract

For the period 2017–2019 five new groups of petroglyphs and a significant number of previously unknown ones in already documented panels of petroglyphs were revealed on the rocky islands of the Kanozero Lake. The discovery of petroglyphs was facilitated by the use of photogrammetric techniques, as well as careful night photographing of rocks with petroglyphs. This publication presents findings of five new panels with more than 40 petroglyphs in total. These findings expand our ideas about the stylistic diversity of the Kanozero petroglyphs, about the range of heights above level of the lake on which stylistically close petroglyphs were made. In this work, new motifs and compositions of rock carvings are introduced, both having analogues and previously nottypical of Kanozero.
