The paper examines seven hunting blinds discovered in Gjesdal, western Norway. Four of the hunting blinds are unique; it was possible to date them directly with radiocarbon dating. The sites exhibit multiple construction phases, with a usage period ranging from the Neolithic to the Mid Iron Age, and we would suggest, extending into the Late Iron Age and Middle Ages. The datings and multiple phases make it possible to discuss temporal change in the construction of the hunting blinds, which is unprecedented in a Fennoscandian context. Hunting appears to align with social trends, becoming more prominent during periods of settlement decline and increased use of outfield resources for surplus production. While hunting in the lowlands of western Norway, particularly between 0 and 900 metres above sea level, appears to have been smaller in scale compared to massscale hunting in Norway's high-altitude zones and eastern regions, the high population of red deer until about 500 years ago indicates profitable hunting opportunities during specific seasons. The cluster of hunting blinds suggests organized cooperation among neighbours and families, with surplus products potentially sold and exported to local and regional markets.

Primitive Tider
An estimated 2000 churches are believed to have been built in Norway during the medieval period. ... more An estimated 2000 churches are believed to have been built in Norway during the medieval period. Although many of the associated church sites are still in use, a considerable number have since been dissolved or moved. Thus, the location of more than 600 abandoned church sites is known, whilst several are only known through historical sources, place names and tradition. From a cultural heritage management viewpoint this is a challenge as the sites are often located in arable land and are therefore under constant threat from agricultural activities and natural erosion. Furthermore, the sites can be difficult to detect and map without resorting to expensive and intrusive methods. The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of ground-penetrating radar as a potential tool for the management of medieval church sites. We present the results from ground-penetrating radar surveys undertaken at Furulund, Hylestad and Habbarstad, and we highlight advantages and challenges in using this type of...

Dated to AD 779, Storhaug is among the earliest known ship burials. Originally excavated in 1886-87, new investigations using archaeological and geophysical methods show the presence of preserved bottom stratigraphy and possible traces of the burial ship and a previously unknown smaller boat.

I know its not entirely up to date, and want to invite you all to comment if you know some articles that are not mentioned and should be included in this list. Thank you all in advance. All the best - Arne. LAst updater 02.october 2024
