The rock carvings of Southern Scandinavia are generally dated to the middle and later part of the Bronze Age, c. 1500-500 BC. Occasionally, more absolute dating of single panels or figures can be made, based on typological or stylistic features of the image, and by comparisons with identifiable objects. The horned human figures of Sotetorp 1 can be compared to finds of helmets of Hallstatt-type, dated to the Late Bronze Age . The acrobat has its counterpart in a find from Denmark with similar figurines and dates to c. 800 BC.
