Four Corners

In Southeast Skåne Four Corners have collaborated with Österlens Museum and the Swedish Rock Art Archives in arranging two events open to the public. The main focus is the rock carving “the dancers rock carving” at Järrestad, Simrishamn. On Saturday evening "Rock Art By Night" started on one of Southeast Skånes most beautiful petroglyphs. A bus from Österlens museum took participants to the location that was illuminated by grazing light. Archaeologists told the stories of the petroglyphs and a Bronze Age buffé was served. On Sunday from 10-16 researchers where available at petroglyphs in Järrestad to answer questions, tell about the rock carvings. Visitors were also given the possibility to make their own frottage – a copy of the rock carving on carbon paper.
