GIS-material for the archaeological project: An archaeological line project in western Östergötland, part 2

The information in the abstract is translated from the archeological report: The report is a supplementary part 2, which continues a series of reports of the archaeological investigations carried out in connection with the proposed double-track between Motala and Mjölby in western Östergötland. For the antiquarian and archaeological context and on the overall problem areas, see the report "An archaeological line project in western Östergötland" (see SND 2000). The newly made archaeological work included field assessment of Landstorp (agrarian remains, graves and an old road) and in Russingtorp (settlement from Early Neolithic and Early Bronze Age) and in Skänninge town (Middle Ages). In Lycketorp a trial excavation was made at a possible settlement site and of hollow ways. Purpose: The information in the purpose is translated from the archeological report: The aim of the field evaluation was to assess the character, extent and scope of the settlement remains found, and to date these for an upcoming excavation. An additional objective was to determine whether unmarked or ploughed down graves could be found in the study area on the western side of the railroad. The ZIP file consist of GIS files and an Access database with information about the excavations, findings and other metadata about the archaeological survey.
