GIS-material for the archaeological project: Five archaeological investigations on the plains of western Östergötland

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report:
Due to the Swedish Rail Administration's plans of extending the railway between Motala and Mjölby, by construction of double-tracks and levelled crossings, the Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service, UV Öst, has performed several excavations along the railway during the years of 2003-2005. Five separate sites were investigated, together forming the Fågelsta Project, a part of the overall project "The Plain Region - western Östergötland in a long term perspective". The archaeological remains consisted of Neolithic and Pre-Roman Iron Age settlements, furnaces from the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, graves and a cult building from the Vendel period and the Viking Age and a medieval road (beside RAÄ 21, 27, Västra Stenby parish); abandoned fields from the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, Late Iron Age settlement, Early Medieval features and a smithy from the Modern Era (RAÄ 225, Västra Stenby parish); settlement remains and stray finds from the Stone Age to the Early Iron Age (beside RAÄ 14-19, Västra Stenby parish); settlement remains from the Early and Late Neolithic, Bronze Age, the transition between the Bronze and Iron Age, the Roman Iron Age, and Vendel period/Viking age, possible village formation (beside RAÄ 32, Fivelstad parish) and finally Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement remains, abandoned fields from the Bronze Age and the Pre-Roman Iron Age, and a Pre-Roman workshop area (beside RAÄ 26, Fivelstad parish). A total of 23 300 m2 was investigated.

Purpose:
The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The main theme of the Fågelsta Project was "People of the plains - settlement changes in a long term perspective". The aim was to describe the landscape development in the area from a comprehensive point of view. This aim was then divided into four sub-themes; Continuity and transitions, Land use in a local perspective, Settlement and settlement structure and Central places and areas. The aim was also to relate the prehistoric development and land use in west Östergötland to the neighbouring regions.

The data is available in two formats: a ZIP file containing GIS shapefiles connected to an Access datafile containing information pertaining to excavation area, finds, object types along with other metadata regarding the archaeological investigation. The second ZIP file consists of corresponding .gml and .xlsx files.

摘要信息译自考古报告：
因瑞典铁路管理局计划通过修建复线铁路和平交路口延伸莫塔拉（Motala）与米尔比（Mjölby）之间的铁路，瑞典国家遗产委员会契约考古服务部门UV Öst于2003-2005年间沿该铁路线开展了数次发掘。研究涉及五个独立遗址，共同构成法格尔斯塔项目（Fågelsta Project），该项目是整体项目"平原地区——西厄斯特哥特兰的长期视角"的一部分。考古遗存包括新石器时代与前罗马铁器时代聚落、青铜时代向铁器时代过渡时期的熔炉、文德时期与维京时代的墓葬及祭祀建筑、中世纪道路（RAÄ 21、27号，西Stenby教区附近）；青铜时代向铁器时代过渡时期的废弃田地、晚期铁器时代聚落、早期中世纪遗迹及近代铁匠铺（RAÄ 225号，西Stenby教区附近）；石器时代至早期铁器时代的聚落遗存与零散出土物（RAÄ 14-19号，西Stenby教区附近）；早新石器时代与晚新石器时代、青铜时代、青铜时代向铁器时代过渡时期、罗马铁器时代、文德时期/维京时代的聚落遗存及可能的村落形态（RAÄ 26号，Fivelstad教区附近）。总计调查面积达23300平方米。

目的：
目的部分信息译自考古报告：法格尔斯塔项目的核心主题为"平原居民——长期视角下的聚落变迁"。其目标是从综合视角描述该区域的景观演变，并划分为四个子主题：连续性与变迁、地方视角下的土地利用、聚落与聚落结构、核心地点与区域。此外，项目还旨在将西厄斯特哥特兰的史前发展与土地利用情况与邻近区域关联分析。

数据以两种格式提供：一个ZIP文件包含GIS形状文件（GIS shapefiles）及Access数据文件（Access datafile），后者涵盖发掘区域、出土物、器物类型及其他考古调查元数据；另一个ZIP文件包含对应的.gml与.xlsx文件。
