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 new understanding of this rather special urban society. The research strategy of the present project is discussed
