Description
The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report:
Due to the Swedish Rail Administration's plans of extending the railway between Motala and Mjölby, by construction of double-tracks and levelled crossings, the Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service, UV Öst, has performed several excavations along the railway during the years of 2003-2005. Five separate sites were investigated, together forming the Fågelsta Project, a part of the overall project "The Plain Region - western Östergötland in a long term perspective". The archaeological remains consisted of Neolithic and Pre-Roman Iron Age settlements, furnaces from the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, graves and a cult building from the Vendel period and the Viking Age and a medieval road (beside RAÄ 21, 27, Västra Stenby parish); abandoned fields from the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, Late Iron Age settlement, Early Medieval features and a smithy from the Modern Era (RAÄ 225, Västra Stenby parish); settlement remains and stray finds from the Stone Age to the Early Iron
