GIS-material for the archaeological project: Prehistoric settlement remains along a power line in south-east Åtvidaberg

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report:
Due to reconstruction of the power grid between mellan Åtvidaberg and Broddebo and on the property Domra in Västervik municipality, the Swedish National Heritage Board's contract archaeology division, UV Öst, has performed several preliminary investigations and stage 2 surveys in Gullebo, Mosshult and Broddebo, Gärserum parish, Åtvidaberg municipality, during summer and autunm of 2005. Two surveys have previously been performed in the area, in connection with rebuilding of the National Road 35. Prehistoric remains, such as graves, were discovered nearby the village sites of Gullebo, Mosshult och Broddebo during these surveys, as well as several potential settlement locations. The result showed a settlement site just north of Broddebo village. The current survey found, among other things, two hearths and a possible agricultural layer damaged by ploughing. UV Öst suggests no further archaeological measures since the trenching for the power lines could be made without affecting the archaeological remains.

Purpose:

The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The purpose of the preliminary investigation and the stage 2 survey, was to determine whether any archaeological remains were going to be affected by the planned trenching and, if possible, to try to avoid them. The results were going to form the basis for possible future decisions by the County Administrative Board concerning the matter.
