GIS-material for the archaeological project: A sill stone building and a deserted medieval farmstead by Herstadberg - Rebuilding of golf course in Herstadberg

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report: Norrköping municipality is planning for new industrial estates and road construction works by Herstadberg, Kvillinge parish, and for the moving and expansion of Ingelsta golf course. A previous archaeological assessment (phase 1) showed that there are several known archaeological sites within and nearby the survey area, as well as several areas which are likely to contain unmarked archaeological remains. A great number of trial trenches were dug during phase 2 of the assessment. Settlement remnants from the 17th or 18th century and what was probably a prehistoric hearth were found. To relate the remains closer to their context and dating, a more detailed analysis of historical maps was performed. The analysis showed that a farm has stood on the site, and that there are several abandoned building sites in the vicinity, deserted already in the 17th century and located on the site of the medieval farm Ströbo. The analysis also showed that the farms of Herstad village were not built on a common village site. Except for the remnants mentioned above no archaeological features or artefacts were found and no further archaeological investigations will thus take place on the site. The Herstad village site has kept the temporary designation UV 3, divided into UV 3a - c for the individual farms within the village. The deserted medieval farm of Ströbo has got the temporary designation UV 4, while waiting for an official ancient monuments record number. Purpose: The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report: The purpose of the assessment (phase 2) was to determine whether or not the development area contained archaeological remains, and to document and, if possible, date the features and artefacts. The ZIP file consists of shapefiles and an Access database with information about the excavations, findings and other metadata about the archaeological survey.
