The Northern Rock Art Tradition in Central Norway
This book examines the Northern (Stone Age) rock art of central Norway, which is dominated by images of marine and terrestrial motifs. It focuses on how these images were drawn and are classified, on the topographical location of the sites, on their dating and cultural context, and on the relationship between rock art and material culture, and offers possible interpretations.
Reflections on Bronze Age travels
In the above paper, Johan Ling and Zofia Stos-Gale present results from a project comparing isotopes from Bronze Age artefacts with signatures from known Bronze Age mining localities. The results showed that artefacts found in southern Sweden were made from bronze mined in Cyprus. This is in itself interesting, but the discovery of rock art engravings in Sweden that resemble 'oxhide' bronze ingots from Cyprus adds a new dimension to the interpret…

These Rocks Were Made for Walking: Rock Art at Leirfall, Trøndelag, Norway
One of the largest sites with Bronze Age type rock art in Norway is found at Leirfall in Stjørdal, Nord‐Trøndelag. The site, which consists of five panels, is dominated by footprints but at the same time a great variety of motifs is present. The footprints seem to lure visitors to walk from panel to panel, even across the panels, which are located at three different levels. The main focus is on the middle level, where the main panel (Leirfall III…

Land of elks - sea of whales: Landscapes of the Stone Age rock-art in central Scandinavia
Stability & Change in Scandinavian Rock-Art: The Case of Bardal in Trøndelag, Norway
Cet article traite de l'art parietal scandinave et plus particulierement des representations rupestres de Bardal (Steinkjer, Trondelag, Norvege). Il s'agit principalement de representations de bateaux et d'animaux, notamment des elans, baleines et oiseaux. Les representations anthropomorphiques et les empreintes de mains sont quant a elles tres rares. L'une des principales difficultes de cette etude, outre l'effacement du au temps, est liee a l'i…

Prehistoric Imagery and Landscapes: Rock art in Stjørdal, Trøndelag, Norway
This monograph represents 15 years of research by the author and concentrates on the so-called South Scandinavian or Bronze Age petroglyphs from the municipality of Stjørdal (Trøndelag, central Norway, east of Trondheim). The book's final section presents a catalogue of 130 or sites, with tracings and short descriptions of each of the rock panels. In all, the work reports on the detection, mapping, and description of the spatial and temporal patt…
Ritual landscapes. Toward a reinterpretation of stone age rock art in Tr⊘ndelag, Norway
The topographical setting of Stone Age rock art localities in Tr⊘ndelag, Norway is discussed from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. Two different types of localities are found. One type, found at topographical landmarks, was probably used for transition rituals, while the other type, located at less distinct topographical features, was probably linked to aggregation sites, being used for rituals attended by larger groups. In the same a…
Rock art and settlement pattern in the Bronze age. Example from Stj⊘rdal, Tr⊘ndelag, Norway
C. 660 prehistoric petroglyphs are known from Lower Stj⊘rdal. Dominating motifs are boats, rings, foot‐soles and animals. The Bronze Age agrarian petroglyphs are clustered into 12 groups of sites, each assumed to represent a social unit. A tentative chronology based on the boat pictures indicates that petroglyphs may have been engraved in the Stj⊘rdal area from Late Neolithic/Earliest Bronze age to the Roman Period. The oldest figures are found a…
