This paper explores the significance of engraved Bronze Age artifacts depicted in rock art, suggesting that these images represent specific objects with "animated biographies" placed in burials. The author argues that these depictions, often located at maritime nodes or burial sites, reflect a cultural practice of commemorating significant objects and their relationship with the deceased, possibly as a way of remembering them after grave robbery or as a form of "secondary agency."

The paper presents an interesting perspective on Bronze Age rock art and object biographies, but suffers from a limited scope, speculative interpretations, and a lack of empirical evidence, leading to an average rating. The focus on mutual biographies of objects and people offers new interpretive possibilities, but more rigorous analysis is needed to substantiate the claims.
