Kjøpstaden på Veøya Middelalderbyen som forsvant, 2024

The foundation of a small urban settlement at Veøy in the Romsdal Fjord from the 10th century rep... more The foundation of a small urban settlement at Veøy in the Romsdal Fjord from the 10th century represented along with other towns a new economic order within the Norwegian landscape. Places like Veøy and Borgund became hubs for the redistribution of the rural production. One of the most
important goods recorded in the ecclesiastical accounts is butter, commonly used by rural producers to meet their obligations to landowners and to pay taxes. Written records detail how Norwegian butter was also exported into international markets. Parallel to urban development was considerable rural expansion, in particular into the outlands and uplands. Seasonal summer farming grew in scale and pastoral strategies included the intensification of shielings where dairying became the primary activity.
This article will explore the relationship between Veøy and Borgund and the increase in summer farming in the northern part of western Norway. We will argue that butter became an important commodity through the flexibility that transhumance offered as a way of maximizing production
from the landscape, and importantly through the existence of strong political and administrative centres – and later urban population and markets – able to absorb surplus butter production.

It presents the process of urban development in Norway from AD 1000 - AD 1350 in order to highlight significant economic differences between Norway and Europe and England. After the first towns were founded by the Norwegian Crown in the 11th century urban development stalled. No more towns were founded from AD 1200 until the mid 17th century and large tracts of the Norwegian landscape were to remain without a town or a market until almost a century after the reformation. In this respect Norway is unique by not conforming to the patterns that represent urban development elsewhere in Europe.The path that took Norway from being a patchwork of pagan Viking chiefdoms to a unified Medieval Christian kingdom was relatively short. The result was a monopolisation of the economy by the crown and church to the detriment of weaker regional urban development, and a system that collapsed under the demographic crisis that followed in the wake of the Black Death.

Thesis by David Hill

Urbanisation and settlement in western Asia Minor: Ionia and Metropolis in the Torbalı Plain, a GIS approach. (Ph.D thesis, University of Oslo, Norway 2016)

Territories were created and economic and cultural networks developed, but urbanisation remained largely a coastal phenomenon until the late-4th century BC when a new wave of urban foundation began, which spread the concept of the Hellenic Polis inland and eastwards. This study analyses the patterns of urbanisation in western Asia Minor and considers regional and chronological differences in urban dispersal, density and site location in the landscape. The region of Ionia and Hellenistic Metropolis form central case studies within the study that employs spatial analysis, remote sensing, intra-site survey and GIS as key methodologies.

The study noted that ethnic and polis identity were central factors in the creation of states and territories in the Archaic period, but they were also concepts that led to geo-political conservatism. When the second wave of inland urbanisation began, Hellenisation and dynastic policy were the vehicles for eastward spread of towns. This wave of urbanisation can be seen as universal, inclusive and homogenous. There were in addition high levels of conformity and familiarity between the physical and societal structures of the new Hellenistic urban foundations.

On the basis of our survey we conclude that the Kastro Apalirou was constructed from the middle of the 7th century and was in use until its abandonment in the early 13th century in the wake of the Latin takeover of Naxos and neighbouring islands. Based upon the data presented below, Kastro Apalirou should be considered an urban settlement rather than a fortress.

The nature of the climb and the view of the plains below naturally directs attention to the question of transport and access to the settlement. The survey eventually concluded that despite the challenging nature of the terrain, an urban settlement would have been viable, though some compromise would need to have been made. This article will present the routes to the site from the plain and the cultivation terraces below the walls. These terraces present an important feature in discussing the function and nature of the settlement and show that the inhabitants
of the town were utilising the slope below the walls for cultivation. This information allows us to consider the site as having been permanently inhabited, and not simply a fortified refuge. The survey has concluded that the cultivation terraces were an integrated part of Kastro Apalirou from its earliest phase.

The survey resulted in the first complete
plan of the site, which provided key data for the discussion regarding the function, phasing and nature of the settlement. A total of fifty-four buildings were surveyed, of which thirty-eight were domestic buildings, three larger buildings considered to be institutional, and three cruder ancillary buildings. In addition, the survey identified an estimated further thirty plots whose structures could not be clarified although plot size and location was similar to the domestic houses. Cisterns, constructed with a heavier use of mortar, are more visible and were divided into two classes: five community cisterns that were large and not connected to one particular building, and fifty-two private cisterns that were built as part of a house or building, usually contained within the basement
and accessed internally from the floor above. There were additionally a smaller number of now free-standing external cisterns, which abutted buildings that have since collapsed, and cisterns inserted into gaps within walls and/or connected to Agios Georgios. The high number
of domestic buildings and low number of larger buildings suggestive of institutional use points strongly in the direction of an urban community rather than a fortress. Broadly, two phases were visible; the first representing the layout of streets and construction of the houses, the second representing greater levels of investment in defences, larger buildings and community cisterns and the expansion of the Agios Georgios complex.

Mutual economic and cultural development was beneficial to growth and development in the region. Traditional historical analysis has focused on the military expansionism of Lydia and portrays the Ionian states as unwilling partners dominated by their larger eastern neighbour. Post-Marathon, pro-Athenian political agendas from the 5th century BC are seen to have coloured the writing of history and influenced the contemporary sources that have been passed down to us. In addition modern euro-centric world views have introduced an occidental bias into the interpretation of interregional relations. Recent trends in Ionian research seek to redress this interpretation through new archaeological material and approaches. This article will discuss a fuzzy border between Lydia and Ionia where economic interests, cultural development and structural differences created a zone of mutual interest, rather than a region defined through antagonistic collision.

The work was undertaken at Vestfold fylkeskommune between March 2017 - March 2018. Of note was the identification of a number of Mesolithic sites, several sites from the Roman Iron Age, three areas of medieval cultivation, an Iron bloomery site and charcoal pits from the Viking Age to the High Medieval period in the outland zone. Thirty four C14 dates were sent for analysis.Extensive Ground penetrating radar survey was applied across those parts of the survey area that were cultivated, and the use of GPRS as a methodology is discussed at the end of the report. Excavation of some of the sites will follow.

Indeed some of the publications and books mentioned here can be found scanned and available on the internet. In that respect it is worth noticing that the earliest of the descriptions mentioned here were planned and undertaken without accurate or detailed maps and with very little available information in printed form, and into a landscape that completely lacked any form of infrastructure to aid the traveler. The first antiquarian descriptions were more what we today would consider expeditions, and those who undertook them were pioneers.

Det norske forskningsprosjektets primære mål var å foreta en full typologisk dokumentasjon av alle synlige graver og sarkofager på denne gravplassen, deres topografiske utbredelse og organisasjon, dernest
å foreta utgravninger av utvalgte gravbygninger og gravområder for å avdekke nekropolens bruksperioder.

Valget falt på en gruppe med tre bygninger og tre sarkofager i nekropolens øverste del; i tillegg ble det foretatt noen spredte stikkgravninger rundt i gravplassområdet. Dette arbeidet dannet grunnlaget for videre studier, der vi i en sosial sammenheng ønsket å undersøke en bybefolkning i detalj over en lengre periode gjennom studier av gravarkitektur og landskapsoppfatning,
organisasjon, familietilhørighet og entreprenørvirksomhet, rituell handling og praksis, genetiske relasjoner og opphav, paleodemografi, helse og sykdommer, dietter og enkeltpersoners bevegelsesmønstre. For å kunne svare på mange av disse spørsmålene ble det også foretatt bioarkeologiske undersøkelser, som C14-dateringer, osteologi og
DNA- og isotopanalyser. Målet med denne artikkelen er å diskutere hva de foreløpige studiene rundt disse spørsmål kan fortelle oss om liv og død i Hierapolis, sett i en videre lokal og regional kulturkontekst. Gravplassens historie strekker seg fra 1./2. årh. e.Kr. til ca. år 1300,
og fanger opp religionsskiftet i senantikken. Der er derfor naturlig, etter en historisk innledning, å se på hvorledes døden (gjennom gravenes lokalisering, form og innhold) ble behandlet før og etter religionsskiftet, deretter hva skjelettene kan fortelle om livskvalitet og endringer i den

Urban Relocation and Settlement Adaptation on Naxos from the Early to Middle Byzantine Periods ... more Urban Relocation and Settlement Adaptation on Naxos from the Early to Middle
Byzantine Periods

From the mid-seventh century, the Aegean became unstable and the Cyclades were directly threatened by piracy and raiding. Textual and archaeological sources paint a clear picture of settlement movement from the coast and abandonment of sites on smaller islands. Naxos, as the largest island in the archipelago, is mountainous and well-watered in relation to the smaller neighbouring islands. The Naxian response to the crisis was to relocate the political and ecclesiastical capital of the island to a fortified mountain-top site in the interior. In constructing Kastro Apalirou, the builders needed to create new forms of architecture that would allow viable settlement at the waterless site. A domestic house type that used rooftop water harvesting and storage in basement cisterns became a dominant feature of the community. The large elite households of Antiquity were replaced with smaller and more compact domestic units. These developments can be seen as radical and resulted in a sustainable and enduring feature of Cycladic settlement—nucleated hilltop villages. Changes to the settlement pattern elsewhere on the island hint at social fragmentation and dispersal as churches become smaller and more numerous. In this paper, I present new data from recent research and argue that medium-sized islands have a greater ability to react to crisis and challenges compared to more central and mainland regions.
