Sweden. Tanum

Criteria: (i)(iii)(iv)
Bohuslan
N58 42 04 E11 20 28
Ref: 557rev  

The rock carvings in Tanum, in the north of Bohuslän, are a unique artistic achievement not only for their rich and varied motifs (depictions of humans and animals, weapons, boats and other subjects) but also for their cultural and chronological unity. They reveal the life and beliefs of people in Europe during the Bronze Age and are remarkable for their large numbers and outstanding quality.
