Archaeology in Cold Climate – On Modern and Prehistoric Archaeologists

Archaeology in Cold Climate – On Modern and Prehistoric Archaeologists | Archaeology News | Scoop.it

This week On the Reading Rest I have a small standard archaeological report on the excavation of a solitary grave, technically speaking a Bronze Age stone setting, probably constructed in the 15th century BCE and revisited in the Pre Roman Iron Age in the 5th-4th century before the common era. A stones setting is one of the most commonplace ancient monuments in Uppland.

 

There are tens of thousands of them, numbered and mapped, but still a detailed new survey of any two square kilometers with known Iron Age monuments will in all probability result in more stone settings.
