GIS-material for the archaeological project: Five archaeological investigations on the plains of western Östergötland

Overview Description Data

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Swedish National Heritage Board, UV Öst

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 Age (beside RAÄ 14-19, Västra Stenby parish); settlement remains from the Early and Late Neolithic, Bronze Age, the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, the Roman Iron Age, and Vendel period/Viking age, possible village formation (beside RAÄ 32, Fivelstad parish) and finally Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement remains, abandoned fields from the Bronze Age and the Pre-Roman Iron Age, and a Pre-Roman workshop area (beside RAÄ 26, Fivelstad parish). A total of 23 300 m2 was investigated.

Purpose:

The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The main theme of the Fågelsta Project was "People of the plains - settlement changes in a long term perspective". The aim was to describe the landscape development in the area from a comprehensive point of view. This aim was then divided into four sub-themes; Continuity and transitions, Land use in a local perspective, Settlement and settlement structure and Central places and areas. The aim was also to relate the prehistoric development and land use in west Östergötland to the neighbouring regions. Show less..
