The Prehistoric Expansion of Farming Into "Arctic" Norway: A Chronology Based on 14C Dating

From the 12th International Radiocarbon Conference held in Trondheim, June 24-28, 1985. Palynologic and archaeologic studies using 14C dating indicate that elements of farming were introduced even further north than the Arctic Circle during the Neolithic period, ca 4000 BP.

Description
Summary:From the 12th International Radiocarbon Conference held in Trondheim, June 24-28, 1985. Palynologic and archaeologic studies using 14C dating indicate that elements of farming were introduced even further north than the Arctic Circle during the Neolithic period, ca 4000 BP. A second stage with heavier reliance on farming and with probable establishment of permanent farmsteads is dated to 2000-2500 BP.
