type: Dataset
description: Previous Archaeological Excavations along the 'Ostlänken' Railway Corridor 1965-2012: Fifteen Kilometers of Ancient History Beneath the Motorway ZIP file 001 contains a shape file with metadata from the excavation, and two maps in GeoTIFF format. Corresponding material is also available in gml format. The ancient monument 209 was comprised of two hearths and an area with soot and fire-cracked stone, situated by Åbro. The remains were dated to the Late Iron Age and the Middle Ages. ZIP file 002 contains three Shape files with information on trenches and features, and a map in GeoTIFF format. Corresponding material is also available in gml format. The excavation covered the northern part of a late Iron Age cemetery. 28 graves were found on the investigated area, seven of which were probable inhumations. High phosphate levels were surveyed in a field beside the cemetery, but no traces of prehistoric activity were found. Settlement remains in the shape of hearths and fire-cracked stones were however found underneath the graves. ZIP file 003 contains three Shape files with information on trenches and features, and a map in GeoTIFF format. Corresponding material is also available in gml format. The excavation uncovered 40 Iron Age graves, most of which were stone settings. Few artefacts were found. The burial custom and artefacts date the cemetery to the Early Iron Age and Migaration Period. Underneath the cemetery, two areas of settlement remains were uncovered. The features included hearths, post holes and two burnt mounds. The settlement was mainly dated to the Early Iron Age, with solitary datings to the Bronze Age and Vendel Period. ZIP file 004 contains three Shape files with information on trenches and features, and a map in GeoTIFF format. Corresponding material is also available in gml format. The excavation was carried out in August and September 1979 and covered part of a cemetery with ten previously known graves. Four stone settings, of which two four-sided, a…
