The Bardal Rock Carvings is a large collection of petroglyphs on Bardal Farm in Steinkjer Municipality, Trøndelag, Norway [1]. What makes Bardal especially significant is the presence of figures from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age all on the same rock surface, with newer figures carved directly on top of older Stone Age images [1]. This site represents rock carving activity from around 4000 BCE to approximately Year 0, spanning roughly four millennia of human artistic expression [1].
