Agrar bebyggelse

i Bohuslän och Halland under 1000-1200-talet - en jämförelse

Abstract

This article focuses on the early Medieval provincial settlement in Bohuslän and Halland; two neighbouring counties on the Swedish West Coast. There are a number of finds dated to the early Medieval Period in both Bohuslän and Halland, but the settlement remains are much fewer than those registered as prehistoric. Also, the remains are often not so clear and distinct. However, the material is large enough to make certain general comparisons and conclusions of how the buildings were planned. The impression is that each farmstead was individually built according to a building tradition, which could be distinguished from other contemporary farms in the vicinity.
