The Grödinge investigations - An example of interdisciplinary study and collaboration

Abstract

This paper will give an example of collaboration between archaeologists and geologists in the common aims of studying land use in a long-term perspective. The methods applied in this example yielded complementary data on the occurrence, duration and gradual changes in cultivation during the Early Iron Age, and also ofthe taxa used. Some ofthe difficulties involved in the correlation
of the archaeological and paleo-environmental data are also discussed.
