Excavation report in Norwegian. Investigations of two lage, rectangular house-pits. Both had hearth-areas along the long mid-axis similar to so-called "Gressbakken houses". Radiocarbon dates from different layers in the hearths showed re-use: dates fall into the second millennium BC and around BC/AD. Under the wall in one of the houses were older flakes and tool fragments, belonging to an older settlement phase. It cannot be said if this was related to a house structure.Related publication:Skandfer, M. 2012.
