Description

Previous Archaeological Excavations along the 'Ostlänken' Railway Corridor 1965-2012: Fifteen Kilometers of Ancient History Beneath the Motorway

The ZIP file contains three Shape files with information on trenches and features, and a map in GeoTIFF format.
The excavation was carried out in August and September 1979 and covered part of a cemetery with ten previously known graves. Four stone settings, of which two four-sided, and a hearth were excavated. The burial type, burial custom and the fact that few grave goods were deposited indicate a dating to the Early Iron Age.
