GIS-material for the archaeological project: Graves and burial grounds at Linköping Airport
Listed in Researchdata.se
The Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service UV Öst have, during the spring of 2001, conducted field evaluations of a number of ancient monuments in the area of Linköping Airport.
Description
The investigations were prompted by the upcoming development in connection with the take-off and landing runway. The ancient remains consisted of single graves and groups of graves, located on the remaining heights that currently surround the airport.
The investigations showed that the three sites were burial grounds, while one site consisted of a smaller group of graves. In essence, the graves are dated to the Early Iron Age. Several of the sites also contained findings from the Mesolithic (the information is translated from the archaeological report).

Purpose (The information is translated from the archaeological report): The field evaluations aimed at clarifying the nature and the burial customs of the recorded graves and burial grounds, as well as any new-found ancient remains within the areas. The aim was also to demarcate the archaeological areas and to assess the extent of the remains in them. The results will also be used as a basis for assessing subsequent outcome study needs.
The data material consist of GIS files (.shp or .gml) and corresponding databases (.mbd or .csv) with information about the excavations, findings and other metadata about the archaeological survey.
