På de to utgravningsfeltene ble det påvist en rekke bosetnings- og aktivitetsspor med datering tilbake til førromersk jernalder til yngre romertid. Alt i alt ble det påvist 415 strukturer fordelt på to utgravingsfelt. 262 av strukturene tilhørte to langhus, hvorav ett var av eksepsjonelle dimensjoner. Det ble også påvist en rydningsrøys og en rekke kokegroper, samt et dyrkningslag som dekket deler av felt 1

This article presents a review of all of these buildings, and the five construction types they represent: three-aisled buildings, single-aisled buildings, pithouses, U-shaped buildings and cross-timbered buildings. An excavation at Viklem will be presented as an example of a farmstead consisting of several buildings of varying type, each with a unique function. This represents the separation of activities previously performed under a single roof. The development is consistent with a general development in farm settlement across Northern Europe. Changes in building techniques throughout the period will be discussed as well. At the outset of the Early Iron Age three-aisled constructions dominate, but around AD 900 single-aisled buildings with new construction principles are introduced. The cross-timber technique appears to be introduced in the 11th century. Functional division...

In this paper two recently discovered tar production sites, in south-eastern and mid-Norway respectively, are presented and discussed. Both are clay-lined funnel-shaped pits that are dug into the ground with an upper part where the wood was stacked and lit, and a lower part where the tar was collected in a container. The Norwegian tar production pits are similar to contemporary Swedish ones found in large numbers in mid-Sweden. The type is also known from the eastern part of Central Europe where they came into use a few centuries later than in Scandinavia.

To do this we analysed the buildings from Viklem to see to what extent they meet well-established criteria for Viking Age halls in Scandinavia. Since the Viklem halls are the northernmost known examples of such freestanding hall buildings, we have to take local and regional conditions into consideration, such as fundamental geographical factors, political demands and its physical manifestations at Ørlandet and the surrounding areas. Our results showed that the large buildings at Viklem meet many of the criteria that have been established by research in southern Scandinavia. However, we see that the Viklem halls are smaller, and lack the large number of prosperity items that that are associated with most in most of the known halls in the south. We discuss these differences in the perspective of Viklem's l...

Local landscape and vegetation development, cross-regional cultural developments and global climatic events were of great significance to the farmer-fisher communities at Vik throughout these periods. In this book, results from the 2014-2016 archaeological excavations at Ørland main air base have been refined and developed. The 13 papers deal with landscape, vegetation and environmental aspects related to the excavated settlement, as well as the spatial and social organization of the built environment. Building traditions, disposal practices, the form and representation of everyday objects, subsistence and landscape use are central to the discussions.
