Foot figures, also called foot soles, footprints etc., are a common type of figure on southern Scandinavian rock carvings. In some areas they are the dominant representational figure. There are different variants of foot figures, from naturalistic carvings with toes, to contour carved ovals. They can be in pairs or as individual feet. In this project I will describe, analyze and try to date and explain the foot figures. The geographical area that I mainly focus on is the landscapes Bohuslän, Dalsland, Skåne and Västergötland. From there I will also look in other directions.
