GIS-material for the archaeological project: Drottningmarken

https://doi.org/10.5878/001421

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report: Vadstena municipality is planning an expansion of Vadstena city, covering a ca. 70 000 m2 big area in Drottningmarken. The Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service, UV Öst, has performed an archaeological assessment (phase 2) to determine whether the area contains any archaeological remains. On the occasion of the survey, the assessment area had been staked out but only covering half of the original area. The farmer had not given permission to excavate the other half, and this part of the area was thus not investigated. If this area is to be developed in the future, further surveying must be performed. Trial trenches were dug in the surveyed part of the field. A few dark coloured patches were discovered, but were interpreted as being of natural origin. Purpose: The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report: Due to a new local plan for Drottningmarken and by request of the County Administrative Board in Östergötland County, the Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service, UV Öst, has performed an archaeological assessment (phase 2), to determine whether the development area contains any archaeological 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.
