The South Scandinavian rock carvings are usually dated to the middle and later part of the Bronze Age, c. 1500-500 BC, after Montelius six period system, but no detailed chronology can usually be worked out. When the carving is made on a mobile object, like a detached stone, the context of the find can sometimes give the carving a relatively detailed dating. Mobile stones with carvings have been found inside graves, and can be dated based on the finds from the grave. In Denmark and Norway, carvings of hands or feet on detached stones are quite common, and where the context are known and dated, typological and iconographical comparative analyses can be carried out as a relative dating method.
