GIS-material for the archaeological project: A medieval charcoal production pit at Grebo Prästgård - House construction next to Grebo vicarage

The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report:
Due to planned construction of houses, the Swedish National Heritage Board's contract archaeology division, UV Öst, has performed a preliminary investigation of the site UV 4:1, Grebo parish, Åtvidaberg municipality. In connection with this, the site UV 4:2 has also been delimited. Several archaeological sites in the area were known from earlier surveys. Because of an expansion of the planned development area, another preliminary investigation was made in Melskog 1:1, where a settlement was discovered. A charcoal production pit, dated to 1290-1410 AD, was excavated within UV 4:1. This whole area has constituted an iron production site, but since the site to a high level is damaged by modern earthworks, no further excavation is suggested. At the edge of UV 4:2, an area with graves disturbed by ploughing, trenches were dug to delimit the site to the south and west. The site has not been excavated. The remains within Melskog 1:1 consist of leached features as well as distinct hearths and cultural layers. Among the finds are prehistoric pottery and worked quartz and flint. Due to the borders of the development area, the site could not be delimited to the south and east.

Purpose:

The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report:
The purpose of the preliminary investigation was to determine the type, character, age and extent of the archaeological sites UV 4:1 and Melskog 1:1. The results of the investigation were to form the basis of future decisions by the County Administrative Board, regarding the archaeological remnants, and serve as guidance for the developer's future planning. As for UV 4:2, the specific aim was to delimit the remains to the south and south-east.

The ZIP file consist of GIS files and an Access database with information about the excavations, findings and other metadata about the archaeological survey.

本摘要信息译自如下考古报告：
因住宅建设规划需求，瑞典国家文物局（Swedish National Heritage Board）的签约考古部门UV Öst对奥特维德贝里（Åtvidaberg）市镇格雷博（Grebo）教区的UV 4:1遗址开展了初步勘查。在此过程中，同时划定了UV 4:2遗址的范围。该区域此前已通过前期勘测发现多处考古遗存。因规划开发区域扩容，研究人员又在梅尔斯科格（Melskog）1:1遗址开展了新一轮初步勘查，并在此发现一处聚落遗址。在UV 4:1遗址范围内，发掘出一处可追溯至公元1290年至1410年的木炭烧制坑。该整片区域曾为铁器生产遗址，但由于该遗址已遭到现代土方工程的严重破坏，因此不建议开展进一步发掘工作。在UV 4:2遗址的边缘区域，存在一处因耕作扰动的墓葬区，工作人员通过开挖探沟划定了该遗址的南、西侧边界。该遗址尚未进行发掘。梅尔斯科格1:1遗址内的遗存包括淋滤遗迹、清晰可辨的灶址以及文化层。出土遗物包括史前陶器、加工石英与燧石。由于开发区域的边界限制，该遗址的南、东侧边界未能划定。

本研究目的内容译自如下考古报告：
本次初步勘查的核心目标为确定UV 4:1与梅尔斯科格1:1两处考古遗址的类型、性质、年代与分布范围。勘查结果将作为瑞典郡行政委员会（County Administrative Board）针对考古遗存作出后续决策的依据，并为开发方的后续规划提供指导。至于UV 4:2遗址，其具体勘查目标为划定其南侧与东南侧的遗存边界。
