The figures were once painted for visibility, but this is no longer done because painting petroglyphs can damage them. I addition, the petroglyphs at Haugen also suffered damage from lichen and moss growth and had to go through a cleaning process around 2010. As a result, the petroglyphs are now difficult to discern with the naked eye.
