  • Research and Innovation Strategy for Møre Og Romsdal 2016-2020
    A manifest partner Research and Innovation Strategy for Møre og Romsdal 2016-2020 Research and innovation strategy 2016-2020 2 FOREWORD Foreword The region of Møre og Romsdal is currently in a period of change. The regional authority has therefore developed a research and innovation strategy to meet the challenges faced by businesses in the region. This strategy has been compiled by applying the "Smart Specialisation" method, in which the interaction between businesses, research groups and the public support system is a central aspect. The region of Møre og Romsdal has been awarded a place on a European Commission study together with sev- eral other regions in Europe, and the study involving Møre og Romsdal comprises part of the knowledge platform on which the new strategy has been based. The fact that our region has been studied and assessed by external parties eliminates any reservations that our new strategy has been based on myths and theories that cannot be documented. The analyses that were part of the study provided us with excellent guidelines in terms of both content and process for the strategy, and these have broadly been followed in the strategy process. The strategy document shows us what our target areas must be if we are to ensure competitive businesses for the future. These are in principle as follows: • A general need for change and a higher rate of inno- vation within businesses. • A reduction in petroleum-related activities with con- sequences for large parts of the maritime industry. • The green shift and its requirements on sustainability and reduced environmental impact.

  • Crossing the Ice: an Iron Age to Medieval Mountain Pass at Lendbreen, Norway Lars Pilø1, Espen Finstad1 & James H
    Antiquity 2020 Vol. 0 (0): 1–18 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2020.2 Research Article Crossing the ice: an Iron Age to medieval mountain pass at Lendbreen, Norway Lars Pilø1, Espen Finstad1 & James H. Barrett2,3,* 1 Department of Cultural Heritage, Innlandet County Council, Norway 2 Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, UK 3 Department of Archaeology and Cultural History, NTNU University Museum, Norway * Author for correspondence: ✉ [email protected] Mountain passes have played a key role in past mobil- ity, facilitating transhumance, intra-regional travel and long-distance exchange. Current global warming has revealed an example of such a pass at Lendbreen, Norway. Artefacts exposed by the melting ice indicate usage from c. AD 300–1500, with a peak in activity c. AD 1000 during the Viking Age—a time of increased mobility, political centralisation and grow- ing trade and urbanisation in Northern Europe. Lendbreen provides new information concerning the socio-economic factors that influenced high- elevation travel, and increases our understanding of the role of mountain passes in inter- and intra- regional communication and exchange. Keywords: Scandinavia, Lendbreen, mountain passes, transhumance, Alpine travel, climate change, ice patch archaeology Introduction Like Arctic permafrost (Hollesen et al. 2018), high-elevation ice patches and glaciers are melting due to the warming global climate. Glacial archaeology has developed to rescue artefacts exposed by this process (Dixon et al. 2014), with archaeologists studying melting ice sites in North America, the Alps and Scandinavia (e.g. Hare et al. 2012;Hafner2015;Piløet al. 2018). This research is revealing past trends in high-elevation hunting, transhumance and travel asso- ciated with social, economic and ecological mechanisms.

  • Fault Systems Marginal to the Møre-Trøndelag Fault Complex, Osen – Vikna Area, Central Norway
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Fault systems marginal to the Møre-Trøndelag Fault Complex 59 Fault systems marginal to the Møre-Trøndelag Fault Complex, Osen – Vikna area, Central Norway Elin Olsen, Roy H. Gabrielsen, Alvar Braathen & Tim F. Redfield Olsen, Å.E.V., Gabrielsen, R.H., Braathen, A. & Redfield, T.F.: Fault systems marginal to the Møre-Trøndelag Fault Complex, Central Norway. Norwegian Journal of Geology, vol. 87, pp. 59-73,.Trondheim 2007. ISSN 029-196X. The NE-SW striking Møre-Trøndelag Fault Complex (MTFC) is a key element in the structuring of Mid Norway. Studies of remote sensing data show that the fault complex has a width that exceeds 50 km. Within this zone, characteristic structures include folded, mylonitic km-wide sinistral detachment zones, truncative, steep, discrete fault strands and numerous smaller fracture-lineaments. Repeated reactivation is revealed through a range of fault rocks, spanning from mylonites to unconsolidated breccias and gouge. Brittle structures fall in two categories, (i) major fault strands, and (ii) wider, intervening damage zones hosting fracture-lineaments that, by field checking, are confirmed to be smaller faults. In the coastal region of Fosen and Vikna, major fault trends that relate to the MTFC are approximately NE-SW striking, whereas smaller faults are seen as three main sets with E-W, N-S, and NW-SE orientations. Outcrop studies show that steeply dipping to vertical NW-SE faults of the Fosen Peninsula (Osen area) are characterised by c. 1-km regular spacing. They host mylonites found as clasts in cataclasites and a late overprint of tensile fractures.

  • Rural Buildings from the Viking and Early Medieval Period in Central Norway
    Rural buildings from the Viking and early Medieval period in Central Norway RURAL BUILDINGS FROM THE VIKING AND EARLY MEDIEVAL PERIOD IN CENTRAL NORWAY Raymond Sauvage and Marte Mokkelbost NTNU University Museum, Trondheim [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT There are 23 rural buildings dating to the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval Period known from Central Norway. This article presents a review of all of these buildings, and the five construction types they represent: three-aisled buildings, single-aisled buildings, pithouses, U-shaped buildings and cross-timbered buildings. An excavation at Viklem will be presented as an example of a farmstead consisting of several buildings of varying type, each with a unique function. This represents the sep- aration of activities previously performed under a single roof. The development is consistent with a general development in farm settlement across Northern Europe. Changes in building techniques throughout the period will be discussed as well. At the outset of the Early Iron Age three-aisled constructions dominate, but around AD 900 single-aisled buildings with new construction principles are introduced. The cross-timber technique appears to be introduced in the 11th century. Functional division of farm buildings seems to coincide with pervasive changes in settlement structure and farm organization between the Early and Late Iron Age, with the gradual introduction of new building traditions which break with earlier patterns. INTRODUCTION of development-initiated excavations in the areas The development of rural building traditions in surrounding historic farms. This places us in a much the Late Iron Age and Medieval Period of Central better position to investigate buildings on the farms, Norway has received relatively little attention.

This paper explores dynamic relations between human adaptation and marine environmental variations in this period. An updated record of archaeological sites and palaeo-oceanographic data suggests a correlation between marine productivity and site distribution and density.

    Breivik, H M and Ellingsen, E G 2014 ‘A Discovery of Quite Exceptional Proportions’: Controversies in the Wake of Anders Nummedal’s Discoveries of Norway’s First Inhabitants. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 24: 9, pp. 1–13, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bha.249 PAPER ‘A Discovery of Quite Exceptional Proportions’: Controversies in the Wake of Anders Nummedal’s Discoveries of Norway’s First Inhabitants Heidi Mjelva Breivik* and Ellen J. Grav Ellingsen† Around the beginning of the twentieth century archaeologists believed that Norway was not inhabited until the Late Stone Age. In 1909 two pieces of flint, found by the school-teacher Anders Nummedal, launched an extensive debate about the prehistory of Norway, which in time led to the acknowledgement that there was an Early Mesolithic (9500–8000 BC) settlement of the country. However, Nummedal’s lack of archaeological education worked against him when he tried to date the many flint sites he found later on, and well-established researchers found his theories about Stone Age settlements unconvincing. He was regarded as an unskilled teacher who did not know the first thing about archaeological methods and terminology. Today, Nummedal is considered to be one of the most influential participants in Norwegian Stone Age research, and his discoveries are well known and widely recognized. This paper describes Nummedal’s fight to transform his reputation from ridiculed amateur to respected professional. The resistance he met when presenting his sensational theories is detailed through an extensive review of letters, newspaper articles and eulogies written by his colleagues.
