GIS-material for the archaeological project: Five archaeological investigations on the plains of western Östergötland_5

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

瑞典铁路管理局计划扩建莫塔拉（Motala）与米约尔比（Mjölby）间的铁路线路，具体工程内容为增设复线与平交道口。为此，瑞典国家文物局下属的合同考古服务机构UV Öst于2003至2005年间沿铁路沿线开展了多次考古发掘工作。本次发掘共涉及5处独立遗址，合称为福格尔斯塔项目（Fågelsta Project），属于整体项目"从长期视角看奥斯特哥特兰西部平原地区"的组成部分。
本次发掘揭露的考古遗存类型丰富，涵盖：新石器时代与前罗马铁器时代的聚落遗址、青铜时代与铁器时代过渡阶段的熔炉遗存；文德尔时期与维京时代的墓葬及祭祀建筑，以及一条中世纪道路（位于韦斯特伦德比教区RAÄ 21、27号遗址旁）；青铜时代与铁器时代过渡阶段的弃耕农田、铁器时代晚期聚落、中世纪早期遗迹与近代时期的铁匠铺（位于韦斯特伦德比教区RAÄ 225号遗址旁）；石器时代至早期铁器时代的聚落遗存与零星出土遗物（位于韦斯特伦德比教区RAÄ 14-19号遗址旁）；新石器时代早晚期、青铜时代、青铜时代与铁器时代过渡阶段、罗马铁器时代、文德尔时期/维京时代的聚落遗存，疑似早期村落雏形（位于菲韦尔斯塔德教区RAÄ 32号遗址旁）；以及新石器时代与青铜时代的聚落遗存、青铜时代与前罗马铁器时代的弃耕农田，还有一处前罗马时期的作坊区（位于菲韦尔斯塔德教区RAÄ 26号遗址旁）。本次考古发掘总面积达23300平方米。

研究目标：本项目说明译自考古报告：
福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"。研究的核心目标是从综合视角刻画该区域的景观演化历程，该目标被拆解为四个子主题：连续性与转型、地方视角下的土地利用、聚落与聚落结构、核心聚落与区域。此外，研究还旨在将奥斯特哥特兰西部的史前发展与土地利用情况与周边区域进行关联对比。
