The phallus stones (“The Holy White Stones”), the grave orbs and their provenance in Rogaland, SW Norway
Quantifying the last 7500 years of land-use changes on the island of Karmøy, southwestern Norway, with focus on three periods with monumental burial mounds
Landscape changes investigated during three phases with monumental burial mounds. • Agriculture began c. 500–700 years before the first burial mounds were constructed. • Agriculture was introduced c. 2000 BC and expanded in the Roman Iron Age (1–550 CE). • The strategic location near the Karmsund Strait became increasingly important over time. The northern part of the island Karmøy in southwestern Norway contain one of Scandinavia’s largest assem…

Den mystiske og anvendelige skålgropa – skålgroper som grense- og eiendomsmarkører i Rogalands jernalder
This article focuses on the various uses of cupmarks in Iron Age Rogaland. While in the Bronze Age cupmarks are associated with communal activity and were used in connection with rituals, Iron Age usage shifts towards the family and clan. They are cut into exposed bedrock, boulders and loose stones. Within the farm's infield, they can appear in the house itself, at the edge of fields, in fence systems and in cairns. In these contexts, the cupmark…

Den mystiske og anvendelige skålgropa – skålgroper i Rogaland knyttet til ferdsel, knutepunkter og kultsteder i landskapet
Approximately 110 rock art sites and more than 100 decorated slabs/stones are known from Rogaland County, southwestern Norway. This article looks at cupmarks and their relationship to travelling routes and nodal points along the coast, waterways, and inland pathways, with a focus on dating, context and placement within the wider landscape. The primary group is located in the maritime zone and along fjord systems. These sites are related to known …
Turfs and timbers
Viking Age ring fortresses were some of the largest construction projects in Danish prehistory. In this article we reconstruct the amount of turf and timber used in the construction of the Borgring ring fortress and estimate the resource area needed to supply the building materials. Using REVEALS pollen data modelling, we quantify the regional oak land cover and estimate the resource area. The results show that even though Borgring was built in a…
Land cover and exploitation of upland resources on the Høg-Jæren Plateau, southwestern Norway, over the last 6500 years
This study explores the use of upland resources on the Høg-Jæren Plateau (360 m asl) in southwestern Norway during the last 6500 years. Human activities and land-use variations were reconstructed using a compilation of data from pollen analysis of six sediment cores retrieved along an altitudinal transect belonging to the present day farm Aniksdal (approx. 31 km2), with archaeological finds and historical records. Vegetation modelling was also us…
A Synthesis of Pollen Composition in Prehistoric Cultivation Layers in Southwestern Norway
Pollen records and radiocarbon dates from cultivation layers were compiled to explore agricultural changes in southwestern Norway, with a focus on cereals and associated herbs. Variations in the pollen composition were examined using rarefaction and multivariate analyses. The results showed that prehistoric cultivation layers were preserved in the region from c. 2200 BC to AD 1400. That the landscape was open and dominated by grassland is inferre…
Economic and social zones during the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in Jæren, Southwest Norway. Reconstructing large-scale land-use patterns
Basierend auf einer Untersuchung der ökologischen und archäologischen Hinterlassenschaften für Jæren, Südwest-Norwegen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Übergang zu einer agrar-pastoralen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft am Übergang vom mittleren zum späten Neolithikum (2400–2350 v. Chr.) erfolgte und es in Folge zu einer raschen Strukturierung der besiedelten Kulturlandschaften kam. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten und Jahrhunderten entwickelte sich die Gese…

Impulses of agro-pastoralism in the 4th and 3rd millennia BC on the south-western coastal rim of Norway
A review of the available archaeological and palaeoecological evidence from the coastal\nheathlands of south-western Norway was compiled to reveal the processes of neolithisation\nproceeding from the Early Neolithic towards the generally accepted breakthrough in the Late\nNeolithic, 2500/2350 cal. BC. South-western Norway then became part of the Scandinavian, and\nthus the European, agricultural complex. Three phases of forest clearance are recor…

The Use of Pollen, Magnetic and Carbon Analyses in Identifying Agricultural Activity and Soil Erosion from the Neolithic to the Iron Age – A Study of Two Lake Sediment Cores from Jæren, South-Western …
Sediment cores from two small lakes, Alvevatn and Hanalandstjønn, both situated in the coastal heathland in Jceren, south-western Norway, were investigated with respect to microfossil analyses of pollen, spores and charcoal. The two lakes are situated close to prehistoric sites and monuments ranging in time from the Mesolithic to the Medieval Age. The microfossil analyses clearly reflect abrupt deforestation from closed mixed deciduous forest to …

The Environmental Aspects and Palynological Signals of the “Fairy-Circles” – Ancient Earthworks linked to Coastal Heathland in South-Western Norway
The fairy-circles, a group of mysterious earthworks, are restricted to the coastal heathland of Jæren, south-western Norway. They are the result of a specialised farming practice adapted to local environmental conditions and are often situated on convex landforms of Quaternary deposits. These earthworks comprise an enclosure defined by a bank and an oval or rectangular ditch in loose deposits. They have been recorded, archaeologically investigate…
