Excursions (at an extra cost)
Excursion to Tanum, 09.00 to 18.30
The excursion will focus on northern Bohuslän, famous for its many rock-art sites. During
the tour we will visit several rock-art sites in the Tanum area, but we will also pay attention
to burial sites and settlements sites. A more detailed program will be decided upon when
we know the number of people participating. The tour is organized by the Swedish Rock Art
Research Archives in Tanum by Johan Ling & Peter Skoglund.
Excursion in the Gothenburg region, 09.00 to 15.00
Visit to Bronsålderssundet (the Bronze Age strait) in Lilleby, here we will see cairns and
settlement sites. The straits northern part lies in fairly untouched environment and therefore
gives a good understanding of the relationship between cairns and settlements in the region.
We will also look at some rock art in the vicinity to Gothenburg. The excursion is led by
