| Summary: | In this article the accumulative aspect of rock art is dis- cussed. In light of the simple fact that we are seeing rock art panels in their final form, questions concerning the interrelation between figures deriving from differ- ent time periods are addressed. The author’s aim is to draw attention to the long continuity of rock art sites and show how greater awareness of this aspect will af- fect the way we comprehend this material in general. The continuity of rock art sites is exemplified by means of a case study of Nämforsen, located in the province of Ångermanland, northern Sweden.
