Alpine Hunting Grounds and Pastoral Landscapes
The alpine and sub-alpine regions of Lærdalsfjellet in Southern Norway underwent significant topographical and environmental changes during the 1960s and 1970s due to extensive hydropower projects. These developments initiated large archaeological investigations, resulting in the discovery of numerous Stone Age sites and a volume of lithic material that had not been previously encountered in mountain locations. In addition to a substantial archae…
From foraging to specialized workshop and mining activities during 10,000 years of sea-level changes
Due to road construction, the University Museum of Bergen conducted a rescue excavation in Vika, Bømlo County, some 5 km from the large greenstone quarry Hespriholmen on the Norwegian west coast. The site revealed two distinct occupation phases. In the Early Mesolithic (10,500–11,000 cal BP), Vika was a small hunting station, while in the Late Mesolithic (8000–7000 cal BP), Vika served as a specialized workshop site for the production of adze pre…

In 2021 the University Museum of Bergen conducted an archaeological excavation at the Middle Neolithic (3500–2700 BC) site Nerlandsøy at Sunnmøre. The most surprising find was 154 teeth from Porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus) imbedded in culture layers. Teeth from this species have been found in three other sites infrom North-Western Norway, however in much lesser number than on Nerlandsøy. In this paper the shark teeth are interpreted as a hitherto u…
Sedentary people or short time events? High resolution radiocarbon chronology from a Late Mesolithic dwelling site in Western Norway
A Late Mesolithic (LM: 6500–4000 BCE) site with two dwellings and a midden were investigated on the coast of Western Norway. Occupation took place at repeated intervals on this site for nearly 2000 years, and 69 radiocarbon samples provide insight into the occupation patterns of a hunter gatherer fisher (HFG) settlement. In addition to traditional Bayesian modelling, we implemented an activity event analysis that enables us to measure the statist…
