In 2011–12 the settlement was excavated. In this first book from the project crucial results from an international team of 23 scholars are published. The chapters cover a wide array of topics ranging from building-remains and scientific analyses of finds to landownership and ritual manifestations. It is suggested that Avaldsnes was a prominent base for sea kings that operated along the West-Scandinavian coast in the first millennium AD. The martial competence developed through the centuries in the sea-king environment was the basis of the Vikings' military success in the 9th–10th centuries.

Molaug. Tanken på en gavebok til jubilanten ble møtt med stor entusiasme fra kolleger og venner over det ganske land. Noen har arbeidet sammen med ham siden tidlig på 1970-tallet, da han var ansatt hos riksantikvaren, andre har møtt ham først i de senere årene da han ledet flere av de store utgravingene i Bjørvika som prosjektleder ved Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning. Mange er de som har kommet i kontakt med Petter gjennom hans artikler og foredrag, og det er utrolig mange som har vært med på hans omvisninger høyt og lavt i gamlebyen. Så å si alle middelalderarkeologer i Skandinavia, samt en rekke andre forskere i Nord-Europa har vært i faglig kontakt med Petter i løpet av en meget lang arkeologisk karriere. Ikledd signalgult verneutstyr har Petter nesten daglig vært å se nede i smale grøfter eller i større utgravningsfelt i gamlebyen. Hans kunnskap om Oslos middelalder har vært til glede og nytte for alle arkeologer som har møtt ham i forbindelse med feltarbeid. Enten vi kjenner ham som foreleser, skribent, sjef, veileder eller sensor har vi alle hatt stor glede av et utrolig faglig engasjement. Denne gaven er således en takk til en sprudlende fagperson med en fantastisk evne til å dele dette engasjementet med alle oss andre.

When the remains of a large stone building outside the Bishops palace was discovered by NIKU in 2013, it was accordingly presumed to be from the sixteenth century. The size of the building made Byantikvaren undertake a documentation which led to samples being taken, dating it to c 1300. This has led to a new and more critical approach to excavated stone buildings in Oslo. This article reassesses earlier archaeological material and diplomas and concludes that stone buildings were probably to be found on most properties by the end of the fourteenth century.
