The aim of this essay is to contribute to a better understanding of the prehistoric site Flyhov in the province of V?sterg?tland, Sweden and its immediate surroundings from an archaeological perspective. The site contains material artistic and ritual expressions from different prehistoric periods, and its long use-history (from the Stone Age until today) shows that the site, and its remains, has attracted the interest from people in prehistory, in modern times, as well as today. With a point of departure in perspectives derived from hermeneutics and phenomenology the essay examines the site?s prehistoric remains, the use of, and the interest directed towards, the site and its remains during different time- and use-horizons and how these horizons have been
affected and intertwined with each other, in a manner where earlier material expressions have affected people and their new expressions. Especial attention is given to the sites circa 500 rock-carvings, and the circumstance that today this important cultural heritage is partly overlooked by the national/local heritage management. The hope is that the essay will contribute to a better understanding of essential aspects of Flyhov and create an interest in further research on the site and its prehistoric remains. This site is located close to Husaby church on the mountain Kinnekulles southeast sloop.
