If you want to see some good examples of these carvings yourself then check out the museum near Gavle. Here you'll find many different kinds:
- some have been drawn into rocks while
- others are carved into them;
- some show humans while others depict animals like bears or reindeer;
- while still others depict weapons such as spears or arrows (so keep an eye out!).
