3,000-Year-Old Boat Carvings Rewrite Europe's Bronze Age Maritime History
Sailing from Scandinavia to Iberia during the Bronze Age (1700–800 BC) meant weeks at sea, testing maritime skills in one of the most dangerous occupations of the ancient world. As the cramped vessel wound around the jutting rocks of Atlantic shores for 2,000 miles, sailors faced cold northern seas, violent storms, and unpredictable tides. Every harbor was a refuge and a marketplace for the bundles of amber, tin, copper, gold, ivory, glass beads, and textiles piled on the deck. Each voyage increased familiarity with different cultures, languages, and boat construction techniques. Each trip strengthened the connections that formed one of Europe’s earliest long-distance trade networks.
A New Study on Ancient Rock Carvings
A new study of ancient rock carvings, “Boats on the Rocks: Late Prehistoric Nautical Iconography and Landscape, from Northwest Iberia to Scandinavia,” published in the journal PLOS One, compared Bronze Age rock carvings (petroglyphs) of boats from 12 sites in northwest Iberia to similar boat motifs from previously documented petroglyphs in southern Scandinavia.

The research team combined traditional archaeological analysis with high-resolution 3D scanning, digital models, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to evaluate the Iberian petroglyphs. Their innovative approach revealed details that earlier surveys had missed. The researchers were able to make direct comparisons between the petroglyphs in both locations.
