Greby Grave Field

The Greby grave field is an Iron Age grave field in western Sweden [1]. It is located north of Grebbestad, Tanum Municipality in Västra Götaland County [1]. With its 220 graves, it is the largest site of this kind in Bohuslän [1]. In June 1873, Swedish archaeologist and cultural historian Oscar Montelius examined eleven of the graves [1]. The grave inventory included glass pearls, bone combs and other everyday objects, dating to the time of migration (approx. 400-500 AD) [1]. Newer findings indicate that Greby might have been an ancient trading site [1].
