Rock carvings by Sverstad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rock carvings from Sverstad are in a cemetery in a small park north of Sandefjord in Vestfold og Telemark in Norway .

The rock carvings from the early Bronze Age lie on a moss-covered ledge and are in danger of being eroded, so parts of the surface have been covered. Based on the design, archaeologists differentiate between carvings made by hunters and gatherers and those made by arable farmers such as those of Sverstad. The visible scratches consist of many smaller bowls .

The invisible incisions consist of six typical Bronze Age ship pictures and 127, partly very flat bowls.

The rock carvings by Haugen are nearby .
