You're juding by modern standards. And the medium the "artist" is working

March 21, 2006-Ötzi the Iceman's murder might have been recorded on
stone, according to a carving on a Copper Age stele.
Found in Laces, a town not far from the glacier in the Ötztal Alps
where the 5,300-year-old mummy was discovered in 1991, the stone
shows an human figure filled with carvings, Lorenzo Dal Ri, director
of the archaeological office of the Bolzano province, told Discovery
News.

of a church in Laces. One carving is especially interesting: it shows
an archer ready to shoot an arrow on an unarmed man's back," said Dal
Ri.
