GIS-material for the archaeological project: Agricultural remains and Stone Age settlement in Södra Freberga - Double-track railway Motala-Norrsten
https://doi.org/10.5878/001721
The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report:
Due to planned construction of a double track railway and flyovers between Motala and Norrsten, a new location for an existing rich fen and a new walk and cycle path, a 900 m2 big area was excavated in Södra Freberga. A field evaluation north of the railway track was performed in 1999, revealing agricultural layers and a microblade. This led to the excavation of area 1 (RAÄ 93), where agricultural layers were documented, and to a field evaluation of area 2, where it was verified that the planned development was not going to affect the archaeological remains. A third area south of the railway track was also evaluated. Here a Stone Age settlement was discovered.
Purpose:
The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The purpose of the excavation was to document and determine the character of the agricultural layers within area 1 (RAÄ 93) before removing them. The purpose of the field evaluations was to determine the extent, type and dating of the ancient monuments within area 2, located nearby the remnants RAÄ 40:2 and 40:3, and within the area of remnant RAÄ 93.
