- Vår felles fortid: Bærekraftig kulturarv og Fotefar mot nord
Authors: Silje Evjenth Bentsen
Pages: 11 - 32
Abstract: The project “Fotefar mot nord” is comprised of 103 cultural heritage sites in Namdal and Northern Norway. The project started in the 1990's to attract local visitors as well as tourists and thus promote awareness and protection of the sites. Some sites were routinely cared for in the decades that followed, others were not, and the project is currently being regenerated and updated. Sustainability is represented in the project through, for example, sites used as social hotspots and the potential for active visitor management of several heritage sites. However, I conclude that the project contains several lessons on sustainability, summarized as follows: 1) Public outreach is a long-term commitment relying on thorough and detailed planning of the start as well as the continuous operation of the project. 2) Democracy and inclusion are both important and time-consuming. Allocate much time to the processes, include the local community in a range of project contexts, and explore heritage sites as local meeting points. 3) Remember the overarching structure of the project, as familiarity with the project can generate increased interest in it. 4) Resource efficiency and sustainability also applies to skills, knowledge and involvement.

- Kirken i Søndre gate 7–11 og nasjonalmonumentet Klemenskirken
Authors: Terje Brattli
Pages: 33 - 50
Abstract: The aim of this article is to illustrate how the remains of the church excavated in Søndregate 7–11 in Trondheim in 2016–2017 became a national monument: the «Church of St. Clement»; the site where St. Olav allegedly was canonized. By analyzing how different participations, both humans and non-humans, and mechanisms constituted the process of formation, this national monument is appreciated as a heterogenous contextual phenomenon, and not a homogenous object resting within itself. It is demonstrated how non-archaeological participations such as media, the Catholic church, the Norwegian church, the Norwegian parliament, the developer, and the government formed elements in the network behind the national monument. In this way, archaeological elements of the project became marginalized. In my opinion this – the exhibition process of the church established on the site included – was decisive for why, from an academic point of view, premature conclusions were drawn. The conclusion of this article is that there is not a 1:1 relationship between the archaeological material excavated and the national monument the «Church of St. Clement». This phenomenon was enacted, i.e., national-monumentalized, not discovered.

- Tales of middle Mesolithic cultural transformations and marine adaptation:
Authors: Birgitte Skar, Jørgen Rosvold, Pål Nymoen
Pages: 51 - 63
Abstract: Submerged archaeological sites from the early Holocene, along the south-western and western Norwegian coastline are important sources of new information about stone-age human populations and coastal adaptation. In this article we present a Mesolithic hatchet made of bone that was found at the harbor floor at Kirkehavn in southern Norway in 1997. While radiocarbon dating proved this hatchet to be the oldest directly dated in Scandinavia (9884–9480 cal BP), aDNA analysis has identified the species from which this hatchet was made as either bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) or northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis). The deposit of the hatchet must be understood in light of other contemporary ritual deposits along the south coast of Norway like the sub-merged Middle Mesolithic ritual site at Hummervikholmen and the cultural transformations taking place during this time. The result supplements the tale of new introductions in cultural practice and in material culture concurrently indicating the introduction of more complex hunter gatherer societies, while the distinctly marine adaptation continued on this part of the coast

- Refleksjoner rundt ny teknologi som supplement til etablert praksis
Authors: Wenche Brun, Annette Øvrelid
Pages: 65 - 80
Abstract: The Norwegian University museums responsibility and practice related to recording and documenting cultural heritage sites and archaeological objects, require solid management. Technologies, tools and methods that have emerged during the last 10-20 years demand new strategies of documentation as well as robust infrastructures. Digital transformations within archaeology, a profession based on material culture, require awareness of the nature of the technologies and possible impact on the epistemology of archaeology. At the Museum of Archaeology, University of Stavanger, we experience that innovative technologies affect our workflow, methodological development and data management strategies. Introducing state of the art tools as supplement to previous approaches might introduce new dimensions and perspectives, but our use of any tool, method or technology should be reasoned by its potential for additional learning and information. Recent practice of 3D-documentation of rock art in the county of Rogaland raises both challenges and new possibilities. Up to date-equipment might benefit research, but emergent technologies could impact our practice in unforeseen directions.

- Kartlegging av middelalderske kirkesteder i Norge med Georadar:
Authors: Monica Kristiansen, Kristoffer Hillesland, Erich Nau, Lars Gustavsen, Bjarne Gaut, Anne Herstad
Pages: 81 - 102
Abstract: An estimated 2000 churches are believed to have been built in Norway during the medieval period. Although many of the associated church sites are still in use, a considerable number have since been dissolved or moved. Thus, the location of more than 600 abandoned church sites is known, whilst several are only known through historical sources, place names and tradition. From a cultural heritage management viewpoint this is a challenge as the sites are often located in arable land and are therefore under constant threat from agricultural activities and natural erosion. Furthermore, the sites can be difficult to detect and map without resorting to expensive and intrusive methods. The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of ground-penetrating radar as a potential tool for the management of medieval church sites. We present the results from ground-penetrating radar surveys undertaken at Furulund, Hylestad and Habbarstad, and we highlight advantages and challenges in using this type of technology on abandoned church sites in rural settings.

- Middelalderkirkegården på Avaldsnes er påvist
Authors: Kristine Ødeby Haugan
Pages: 103 - 111
Abstract: Våren 2020 undersøkte arkeologer fra Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning (NIKU) kongsgårdsanlegget på Avaldsnes prestegård i Karmøy kommune. I forbindelse med den pågående konserveringen av ruinen ble kirkegårdsjord og kulturlag fjernet, og 30 skjeletter ble avdekket og dokumentert i og rundt bygningen kalt Tårnet (Nordlie og Ødeby 2021). Tre skjeletter ble 14C-datert til perioden mellom slutten av 1200- og slutten av 1300-tallet. Dette er de første gravene datert til middelalder på Avaldsnes, et viktig funn siden sannsynligheten for å påvise middelalderkirkegården har blitt vurdert som lav ved tidligere undersøkelser (Nordlie og Sand-Eriksen 2019:61). I denne rapporten legges det fram en oversikt over gravene avdekket ved NIKUs undersøkelse, med et hovedfokus på middelaldergravene, som settes i sammenheng med Tårnets funksjon.
