Description: Drottninghall, V. Karup parish, Scania. About 120 figures distributed over 4 panels. The dominating motif is the totally carved out foot print and the cup mark. Some of the cup marks have been carved into elongated hollows. The characteristics of the figures, the technique and the area of distribution are totally divergent from that of the traditional rock carvings. The Scanian figures compose a rock carving tradition of their own.

Description: Vårfrukyrka 284. Situated on an irregular rock surface, at the W edge of major ridge. There are about 25 figures, Y-shaped or stemmed arcs. They can also be seen as the horns of cattle or as representations of humans with upraised arm. About half of the figures have a small "dot" knocked from the rock between the arms, perhaps therefore a head. The figures are reminiscent of representations of stylised bulls, seen from above, at Val Fontanalba, Alpes Maritimes (see Glob 1969:138 for photo).
Figures: c. 5 Y-shaped figures 14 cup marks

Description: The locality of Nämforsen consists of three islands, Notön, Laxön and Brådön. The majority of the carvings are found on Brådön and Notön, and together there are more than 1700 figures. Notön has the largest number of engravings, c. 800 figures and Brådön c. 400. The dominant motif is the elk, of which half the number are depicted totally carved out. The other half are contour-carved. Some of the elks are only partly carved out. Most of the ship figures are single-lined with crew-strokes. Other ships are double-lined with vertical lines in the hull. The elk figures with contour-carved bodies sometimes have so called life-lines inside the body, probably showing the heart and lungs of the animal.
Figures: c. 700 elk figures c. 366 ship and boat figures c. 87 human figures c. 80 angle-shaped figures 34 cup-marks 25 foot soles 19 fish figures 9 bird figures 11-15 so called elk-headed axes or staffs c. 30 other figures including wheel-crosses
