GIS-material for the archaeological project: Västra Stenby
type: Dataset
description: The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report: Arkeologikonsult was commissioned by the County Administrative Board in Östergötland (dnr 431-2414-09) to conduct a field evaluation of the properties Lårstad 1:5, 4:1 and Fågelstad 2:4, Västra Stenby parish, Motala municipality, Östergötland. The area contains a registered ancient monument (RAÄ 260). The field evaluation was prompted by the Swedish Road Administration's plans to construct the new National Road 50 between Motala and Mjölby on the above-mentioned properties and partly within the area occupied by the ancient remain RAÄ 260. Arkeologikonsult´s evaluation delimited the archaeological site in the southeast and north-west direction, i.e. along road 50's planned route. However, it continues beyond the development site to the north-east and south-west. The remains were spread over a relatively large area and were of Iron Age character. Only very sparse artefacts were found and since no cultural layers or clear house remains could be identified, the remains should be described as largely destroyed by ploughing, and therefore preserved only on a limited scale. However, a very well preserved, over-grown ancient road was found within the study area, built of stone and packed soil. Purpose: The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report: The purpose of the field assessment was to provide a basis for the County Administrative Board's possible decision about future excavation of the site. The aim was also to form a basis for the further planning of the Swedish Road Administration. The issues that were investigated related to the character, dating, extent, composition and complexity of the ancient remains. The ZIP file consist of GIS files and an Access database with information about the excavations, findings and other metadata about the archaeological survey.
