Votive sites are sites where animal sacrifice  in the form of bones deposited in a split in a block of stone or beneath a cairn  are made. The sites strongly resemble graves or tombs , however no human bones are found. Such finds are made in Hallstatt culture sites, and they presumably also represent graves. Votive sites, or (North & East Saami) "seite" or (South Saami) "storiockare" (storjunkare) are representative  especially among Saami groups and hence are most common in Lappland. It was believed that stones ruled over the food resources and hence were protected from Giants by the help of Thor. However, findings are also made down to Scania, Sweden where an earlier interpretation  in 1589  was a rendezvous point of Huns and Goths. Findings in Central Europe are usually devoted to the Hallstatt culture. A similar worship in stones is known in Crete.
