Description
Summary:As part of the research project Stone Age Demographics, surveys and documentation were conducted in the summer of 2019 in three areas in Sørøysund in western Finnmark: Fella, Vatnan and Gåshopen. Two of these areas were already known to have many prehistoric remains, while few were recorded in the last area. It turned out that each of the three areas boasts a large number of remains from the Stone Age. This report compiles information from previous descriptions and investigations, as well as details on the present status of these cultural heritage structures and of the landscape. I forbindelse med forskningsprosjektet Stone Age Demographics ble det i 2019 foretatt befaring og registrering på tre steder i Sørøysund i Vestfinnmark: Fella, Vatnan og Gåshopen. To av områdene var fra tidligere kjent som rike på kulturminner, mens det bare var få registrert på det siste området. Det viste seg at alle 3 områder markerer seg med særdeles mange kulturminner fra steinalderen. I denne rapporten presenteres samtlige av disse kulturminner og det redegjøres både for tidligere beskrivelser og undersøkelser samt for hvordan strukturer og landskap fremstår i dag.
