År 2003 grävde tyska arkeologer ut en spansk bosättning i den gamla staden Panama de Viejo. Utgrävningen ägde rum i de fattigaste områdena i utkanten av den nya staden Panama City.

In Sweden little attention has been paid to social implications of pipes and smoking in the 17th and 18th centuries, a

This essay should be regarded as an artifact study and as a foundation for continued research. As very little has been written about younger blackware, the focal point of this study is on key problems such as dating, function and production. The material of the study is from the excavation of Kv. Apotekaren 4, carried out 1979-1980. The stratigraphy of the site was well dated with dendrochronology

The purpose of this paper is to examine five interpretations of a type of medieval construction called “clay lined pit” which has been encountered on several locations in southern Scandinavia, and whether the interpretations can still be considered plausible in light of new findings. Initially the construction type is explained and the interpretations are introduced. Three locales, where clay line

Over the past twenty years, the metal detector has received considerable attention, both from archaeologists, private persons and media, among other things because of problems with crimes related to archaeological heritage. Archaeologists have long pursued a hot debate on the regulations that are in force in Sweden concerning the use of the metal detectors. Comparisons with Danish regulations - wh

Two ring handles were found in Uppåkra by the archaeological excavations.
