Abstract In the rock art of Fennoscandia, the economy of the population from the late Mesolithic to the paleometal age looks as follows. In the images we find only hunting, marine hunting from boats and fishing on the hook. There are no scenes with traps, snares, trapping pits, which were undoubtedly used. The image of economic activity is limited to the pictures of active production of the following animals: elk, reindeer, bear, beavers, waterfowl, cetacean (dolphin), halibut, pike. Weapons and means of equipment: a spear, a bow and arrows, a harpoon, fishing hooks on a line, boats, skis and snowshoes. In general, this set corresponds to those materials that originate from excavations.
