The Possible Advantage of Living in Turf Houses on Settlement Mounds
Before timber and stone houses were introduced to northern regions, varieties of turf houses were the most commonly used architecture. These houses had a wooden structure encapsulated in a shell constructed of grass turf. The different ethnic groups of the north built their houses in different styles and constructions, but the general principle was the same. The Norse of North Norway and also on the North Atlantic islands had a tendency to build …

Two perspectives on Vågan in Lofoten
The storvågan project 1985–86
The earliest urban settlement in the Arctic was Vågar in Lofoten. From written sources this settlement is known to have functioned as an economic, clerical and administrative centre of North Norway. But, the sources are silent after the end of the 14th century. Small scale excavations in 1985–86 produced a surprisingly rich material, which above all shows no decline during the Late Medieval. The finds seem to have the potential to provide a quite…
Farm mounds of the harstad area
The farm mounds of coastal North Norway are settlement accumulations produced by long period settlement on the same location. The majority seems to have come during medieval and later periods, but there are a few of early iron age origin. There has been no total excavation of a farm mound, only minor trenches. This paper summarizes the efforts done on exploring the context and characteristics of farm mounds, based on surveys in one central part o…
Correspondence analysis
Correspondence analysis is put forward as a statistical tool of the data reduction type, useful for abundance data. The method is applied to three research examples from the archaeology of northern Norway. It is pointed out that the method can be used as a device for automatic seriation
Farm mounds in North Norway, a review of recent research
This is a short review of archaeological research on a special north Norwegian type of settlement deposit accumulation, farm mounds, dated mainly to the Medieval and Post‐Medieval periods. The main themes are: 1) evaluation of earlier research confronted with archaeological data recorded during the last 15 years, 2) research in progress is summarized and 3) different research strategies are discussed
