Haleets (also called Figurehead Rock) is a sandstone glacial erratic boulderШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn with inscribed petroglyphs on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The Native American Suquamish Tribe claims the rock, on a public beach at Agate Point on the shore of Agate Passage, as part of their heritage.Шаблон:Sfn The exact date the petroglyphs were carved is unknown but is estimated to be around 1000 BCE to 400 or 500 CE, the latest date being when labrets (worn by one of the petroglyph figures) were no longer used by Coast Salish peoples.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Haleets is the Coast Salish name of the rock, also transcribed as Halelos, Xalelos and Xalilc, meaning "marked face".Шаблон:Sfn It is known in English as Figurehead Rock. Its purpose is unknown but the Suquamish Museum curator and archivist Charlie Sigo has stated that it may have been a boundary marker.Шаблон:Sfn An amateur astronomer has proposed a theory that it has a calendrical function (see Archaeoastronomy).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Refn

A boulder sits on a cobbled beach in bright sunlight with a stretch of blue water behind it. On the horizon are low forested hills. There is a snow covered volcano on the far distance. A few sailboats are in the water.

The rock is Шаблон:Convert tall and Шаблон:Convert long. It sits about Шаблон:Convert offshore,Шаблон:Sfn and has been marked with chiseled and drilled Coast Survey features since 1856, and a bronze geodetic mark was placed on it in 1934.Шаблон:Sfn Some sources say that the rock is one of three prominent Salish Sea petroglyphs that were always on the shoreline,Шаблон:Sfn but tectonic activity around the Seattle Fault may have put Haleets in the intertidal zone.Шаблон:Refn
