That is, building foundations under piers, and are interpreted as remains after piers by the atlantic coast. The dating of the piers is 1790 to the beginning of the 19th century, based on dendro dating and shoreline development.
A close-fitting vertically positioned row of poles was documented. They are interpreted as protection against waves, in a harsh harbor environment. Contextually, they are connected to the pier foundations.
The piers were unknown. They have not been found in historical sources and are not marked on maps from 1884. This is new knowledge about life in the center of Sjøvegan, which also sheds light on other history.
The cultural patterns here stand on the sidelines of Norwegian cultural heritage legislation, and they lack protection. The law today largely does not provide protection for cultural monuments younger than 1537. The documentation shows a strong need for changes in provisions in legislation that have not been changed since 1907.

The ceramic is connected to women, and different types of ceramic indicate different context and different social status among the women.

The article highlights probability that the outlet area for millstone also were exploited for tombstones.

Av denne type dolk er det funnet noe få titalls stykker i Norge. På tidspunktet som artikkelen ble skrevet var dolken i Saltdal den nordligste. Det presenteres noen tanker om hvordan dolken kan ha blitt brukt og hvorfor den er funnet i Saltdal.
A bronze dagger made from flint were found in Saltdal. This dagger is probably produced in Denmark. It is not common to find this kind of dagger in Norway. At the time the article was written was the dagger in Saltdal the northernmost. The article give some thoughts on how the dagger may have been used and why it is found in Saltdal.

Flere kontekster ble avdekket under lokaliteten. Kontekstene ble tolket som boligstrukturer og aktivitetsområder. Spesifikke gjenstandskategorier ble utskilt til ulike områder i kontekstene-. De ble tolket som deler av utstyr til enkeltindivider. Det er gjort tankespill om hvordan enkeltpersoner har forholdt seg i sosiale strategier, og hvordan det sosiale samspillet har endret seg i forhold til status.
A rescue investigation was performed on Bjorøy in Hordaland, as a result of a new tunnel opening "landed" in a Stone Age site with Neolithic material. Several contexts were uncovered during the fieldwork. Contexts were interpreted as residential structures and activity areas. Specific subject categories were separated into different areas within the contexts-. They were interpreted as parts of equipment to individuals. The author has made some mind games about how individuals have behaved in social strategies, and how the social interaction has changed in relation to status during western norwegian neolithic.

Historical and archaeological traces of Sami migration from Tornedalen in Sweden. The farm is located in an area with bogs and scattered birch forests. The area is marginal for agriculture, and typical of this settlement (Markasamisk) is variation in the utilization of natural resources. Tufts were registered for dwellings, barns, tar miles, midden, and also a couple of tufts that were difficult to give a functional interpretation, apart from the fact that they have been part of the farm environment.

In Saami language it is called Akko, because the stone is shaped like a woman. This stone is shaped like womans face. The face looks towards a Sami holy mountain called Basečohkka. A part of the stone has two cracks. The stone is located up to an older abandoned road. During survey it was stabbed in the soil with soil drills. Some carbon was found. It is an oral tradition of the rock. In the oral tradition it is called "Andasteinen" that means "soulstone". Oral tradition, shape and location tell us that this is a Saami ritual site.

Satsingen er basert på frivillige avtaler mellom staten og grunneierne. Hensikten med rapporten er å få tilstrekkelig kunnskap om kulturhistorie, kulturminner og kulturmiljø i det utvalgte kulturlandskapet. Skallan-Rå i Kvæfjord kommune, Troms fylke er et av 32 utvalgte kulturlandskap i landet.
I nærheten av den etablerte kultursti Skallan-Rå i Kvæfjord kommune ble det registrert 10 sommerfjøs, 4 ruiner etter fjøs, 3 røyser og 2 tufter. I strandsona mot Bygdesundet ble det registrert rester etter maritime aktiviteter. Det gjelder 20 naust, 19 støer, 26 vorrer, 12 steinkaier, 2 slipper, 1 murfundament etter naust. 2 ender av steingarder som ligger tilknytta naustmiljø ble registrert.
Metodene som ble brukt var overflatesøk og luftfoto. Dokumentasjon ble gjort ved georefererte luftfoto av kulturminner, foto og tekst.

The site could not be dated closer than between 9300 - 1800 bc. The location is outside the usual places, where we find stone age sites. This context had probably a different function than life on the basis settlements.

The investigation was done in the farm Lomeland in Rogaland, South Western Norway, year 2016. Cultural Layer was carbondated to late bronze age, and posthole was carbondated to early medieval time. In addition there were cookingpits and mounds of stone documented during the excavation.

It was brought out a 14C sample that was dated to the Neolithic age . Typological diagnostic material is dated to the Early Mesolithic . This dating was emphasized in the report.
The place is surrounded by a good seaport in the Mesolithic , in a marine environment with exellent fishingoportunities.

A Stone Age site with ceramics were found. The site was bounded by natural topography and empty testpits . The site adjoins a maelstrom with good and stable fishing opportunities It had two excellent port facilities. The pottery is here present in a hunting and gathering society , which is in contact with farming communities .
A burial mound from the Iron ages, presumably early Iron Age was documented.

Its close to an old path. The path is traditonally used by the locals in Simadal on their way to the summer mountain farming areas.

It was documented a fireplace and a cooking pit . The fireplace is 14C dated to the early Iron Age . It was documented a cultural layers that were interpreted as fossil agriculture field . This cultural layer was 14C dated to the Late Bronze Age .
It was taken testpits in a rather negative result .
It was noted younger cultural paths along the river. Millstones, electrical power lines and two power stations

Below treeline it was sought after cultural paths related to mountain farming. The method was testpits up estuaries and along lakes , and systematic surface inspection.
No paths from stoneage settlement were discovered during tespits. No cultural paths from alpine farming were discovered. An old road was documented. This road was already known. Some cultural memories were registrated along the road. One Rockart was discovered. Interviews were made among the locals in Simadal, about exploiting and traditions in exploiting the mountain i the past.

The sites was demarcated with empty testpits, rock and shore. They are dated to meolithic an neolithic, bye the typology of artefacts and sealeveldiagrams. One of the sites, Lok.3, have been under water after it was abandoned. Lok.8 is suggested to early neolithic (TN). Lok.5 is suggested to middle neolithid (MN).
A traditional boathouse environment , and coastal farm was also recorded.
