The information in the abstract is translated from the archaeological report: The Swedish National Heritage Board's Contract Archaeology Service, UV Öst, carried out a field evaluation in August 2002, and a final excavation in November the same year. The surveys covered remains of an Iron Age settlement by Stora Ängård, Lambohov, Slaka parish in Linköping municipality, Östergötland County, and were brought about by the municipality's plans of constructing a residential area with single-family houses on the location. The area is rich in ancient monuments and archaeological remains and the excavation was carried out nearby graves, stone fences and abandoned fields. The remains found were post holes, hearths, pits, pit systems and finds such as pottery, burnt clay, burnt bones and quartz. The investigations have shown that the site goes back to the Early Roman Iron Age and the Migration Period.

Purpose:

The information in the purpose is translated from the archaeological report: The purpose of the field evaluation was to form an opinion of the type, intensity and extension of the archaeological remains found during the preceding survey, and date them if possible. The purpose of the final excavation was to document, date and interpret the features and structures. The result of the investigations will be seen in an Early Iron Age perspective, with a starting point in the known archaeological remains and previous surveys carried out in the area.

Likelihood of new sites calculated from soil group name, fertility level and existing site locations on a 1 kilometer grid. Data from Simmons soil map, 1959. Prepared for Dr. Anabel Ford, 21 October 1999 by Paul Van Zuyle. Projection: UTM Zone 16.

Data set that contains information on archaeological remains of the pre historic settlement of the Letolo valley on Savaii on Samoa. It is built in ArcMap from ESRI and is based on previously unpublished surveys made by the Peace Corps Volonteer Gregory Jackmond in 1976-78, and in a lesser degree on excavations made by Helene Martinsson Wallin and Paul Wallin. The settlement was in use from at least 1000 AD to about 1700- 1800. Since abandonment it has been covered by thick jungle. However by the time of the survey by Jackmond (1976-78) it was grazed by cattle and the remains was visible. The survey is at file at Auckland War Memorial Museum and has hitherto been unpublished. A copy of the survey has been accessed by Olof Håkansson through Martinsson Wallin and Wallin and as part of a Masters Thesis in Archeology at Uppsala University it has been digitised.

Olof Håkansson has built the data base structure in the software from ESRI, and digitised the data in 2015 to 2017. One of the aims of the Masters Thesis was to discuss hierarchies. To do this, subsets of the data have been displayed in various ways on maps. Another aim was to discuss archaeological methodology when working with spatial data, but the data in itself can be used without regard to the questions asked in the Masters Thesis. All data that was unclear has been removed in an effort to avoid errors being introduced. Even so, if there is mistakes in the data set it is to be blamed on the researcher, Olof Håkansson. A more comprehensive account of the aim, questions, purpose, method, as well the results of the research, is to be found in the Masters Thesis itself.

Purpose:

The purpose is to examine hierarchies in prehistoric Samoa. The purpose is further to make the produced data sets available for study.

Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs) are areas where there is significant known archaeological interest or potential for new discoveries. APAs are used to help highlight where development might affect heritage assets.

This GIS protocol is primarily intended as supplementary material to the article (Štular et al., 2022). The article contains important contextual information about its intended use. In short, this GIS protocol was developed for the purposes of archaeological regional analysis of spatial data. The data are provided elsewhere in spreadsheet format (Štular et al., 2021). Data in GIS format are included in this repository. The GIS protocol can be used with any relevant data for any purpose as long as the data format matches the format of the included data.

Includes GIS protocol (textual description) and GIS data in *.shp format.

A preliminary archaeological investigation was carried out on parcels Styrstad 11:6 and Agetomta 2:3 (Styrstad socken, Norrköping's municipality) in May 2005, in connection to the construction of a new villa. Several structures of unclear natures were discovered along with stone chips. These are probably connected to a now destroyed prehistoric settlement in the area. No further archaeological investigations were stipulated y Riksantikvarieämbetet UV Öst.

Publication frequency: Source layer published quarterly; service refreshed daily.NOTE: To ensure the features are up to date, SHPO strongly recommends using the web service rather than an exported download.This feature layer is maintained by the New York State Division for Historic Preservation, also known as the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). For more information, see SHPO’s website: https://parks.ny.gov/shpo/Accessing this dataset does not constitute “consultation” with SHPO under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 or with DHP under Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act.This feature class comprises areas that are a specified distance around archaeological sites that SHPO has inventoried. Because these areas are only based on proximity to sites, locations within these areas may not be archaeologically sensitive, and locations outside of these areas may still be archaeologically sensitive. SHPO’s Archaeology Unit reviewers evaluate sensitivity based on a variety of environmental factors, including topography and hydrology, so these buffer areas are only suggestive. If you have questions about the potential archaeological sensitivity of a location, please visit SHPO’s Contact page to find the Archaeology Unit reviewer for the county.

A Detailed Archaeological Dataset of the Megalithic Complex at Vindhyan Highlands: A Case Study of Dantari Hill, India The dataset presents the physical and spatial characteristics of the megalithic complex at Dantari Hill, located in Mirzapur District, Uttar Pradesh, India. It documents funerary monuments (n = 482), microliths (n = 303), rock paintings (n = 119), and habitation sites (n = 3) identified through systematic field surveys and GIS-based spatial analysis. The dataset includes details of monument typology, dimensions, orientation, and preservation status, along with spatial variables such as elevation, slope, density, proximity to water sources, and visual catchment areas. Data are provided in multiple formats, including Microsoft Excel, KML, charts, and GIS maps. The dataset holds substantial potential for reuse in comparative and interpretive studies related to South Asian megalithic cultures, spatial organization, and landscape archaeology.
