Engraved Biographies: Rock Art and the Life-Histories of Bronze Age Objects

animated objects, cultural biographies of objects, Bronze Age, burial practice, northern EuropeAbstract
This article deals with engravings depicting some times lifesized Bronze Age metal objects from “closed” burial contexts and “openair” sites in northern Europe. These rock art images have mainly been used for comparative dating with the purpose of establishing rock art chronologies, or interpreted as a poor man’s” substitute for real ob jects that were sacrificed to immaterial gods and goddesses. In this article, these rock art images are pictured from a perspective that highlights the mu tual cultural biography of humans and objects. It is argued that the rare engravings of bronze ob jects at scale 1:1 are best explained as famous ani mated objects that could act as secondary agents, which sometimes allowed them to be depicted and remembered. Moreover, two different social set tings are distinguished for such memory practice: maritime nodes or third spaces where Bronze Age Argonauts met before, during or after their jour neys, e.g. places where novel technological and/or famous objects entered and reentered the social realms, and burial contexts where animated objects sometimes was buried at the end of their lifecourse
