Greby grave field, located north of Grebbestad, Tanum Municipality in western Sweden, is the largest site of its kind in Bohuslän. It contains 220 graves that date back to the Iron Age.
In June 1873, Swedish archaeologist and cultural historian Oscar Montelius examined eleven of the graves. The inventory included glass pearls, bone combs and other everyday objects dating to the time of migration, approximately 400-500 AD. Similar artifacts have been found in various places across Sweden, as well as in Norway, Germany and England.
Newer findings indicate that Greby might have been an ancient trading site.
