Description
Before the construction of a new segment of the national road 50 between Motala and Mjölby, SAU carried out a field evaluation of the ancient monument RAÄ 115. Within the 3000 m2 big investigation area, seven search trenches were dug. Three post holes, one pit and two layer remains were found, all of them in the two westernmost trenches. The features were dated to the Early Neolithic, the transition between the Viking Age and the Middle Ages, and to the 13th century. Except for the few features in the area's western part no traces of prehistoric activity was found.
Purpose:
The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The purpose of the field evaluation was to establish the character, dating, expansion, composition and complexity of the known archaeological remains.
