Description

From 17/10/1990 to 08/11/1990 the Swedish National Heritage Board has performed investigations of five areas (named area 5-8 and 12/13) and one preliminary investigation of one area (named area 14) within the planned motorway of the E4 motorway, passing Norrköping.

In area 5, located at Borgs säteri, remains of residential nature was found. Ceramic finds give a possible dating of the Vendel period to the Viking age.

Area 6 is located next to Motala ström. Settlement remains were found, concentrated in the south part of the area.

Within area 7 a large settlement containing two areas of cultural layers were found. Ceramics place part of the ancient monument in the bronze age.

Area 8 also contained remains of residential nature, possibly from the iron age and the bronze age.
