Excavation report (in Norwegian). Small-scale excavation of house-pit. An oval, 4,5 x 3,7 m, shallow house-pit was test-excavated by a 0,5 x 0,5 m field in the middle of the floor area. Several layers of charcoal, partly separated by sand-layser were observed in an assumed central hearth. No hearth-stones or finds. RAdiocarbon dates point to at least two separate use-phases, one in the Late Atone Age c. 3800 BC) and one in the early Medieval period. A date from a previous test-pit could represent a third, intercepting, dwelling episode, alternatively a mixing of the two stratigraphically separable layers. A stone-lined hearth situated outside the house-pit was dated to 1880-1690 BC, i.e. Early Metal Age. Related publication:Blankholm, H. P. and Skandfer, M.
