3D-models of Neolithic and Bronze Age axe images at Nämforsen, Sweden
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose here is to present, analyze and discuss new observations from the last years’ photogrammetric documentation of the Nämforsen’ rock carvings, with emphasis on axe figures, a category that we have previously dealt with some questions still remain to be disentangled (Bertilsson 2019). Results of the documentation accomplished since 2015 raising questions about context and chronology, seemingly more complicated than previously understood. (Bertilsson 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019, Bertilsson & Bertilsson 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021). The 3D models produced enables observations of details and phenomena not previously noticed, making established interpretations less unambiguous and possible to reconsider. First, some comments on recent years’ research on “Northern Hunters Rock Art” (Goldhahn et al. 2010, cf. Bertilsson 2012, Goldhahn 2021).
