Ausevika Petroglyph
The rock images at Ausevika where made by members of a
hunter-fisher-gatherer community in the Stone Age. They giv us primarily an
insight into the community's beliefs, ideas and rituals, possible along with
their myths an legends.
The rock images giv us information about how Stone Age
people viewed the world and their role in it. What were their opinions? Who
produced the rock carvings, and why? What influenced their choice of subject?
These are some of the questions which archaeologists and general ask themselves.
No matter how we interpret the rock images at Ausevika,
they are unique works created by a prehistoric community, where hunting deer,
the performance of ritual dances and the use of symbols have been brought
together as different aspects og an entity. Here - on the rocky seashore at
Ausevika - people have congregated to celebrate their ritual festivals and
ceremonies, to confirm the continued existence of the life and culture of their
community in its widest sense.
