Introduction Today’s focus on marine resources and environmental factors has supported a rapid development of technology for monitoring the coastal zones. Together with an increasing awareness of the historical and archaeological sites located under water as well as a growing understanding of the enormous research potential of the well-preserved submerged settlements and landscapes as an indispensable supplement to the investigations on land (Grøn & Skaarup 2004, 2006; Skaarup & Grøn 2004), it has been a logical step to attempt application of the technology to practical marine archaeological survey in shallow water (0.5-10m). Where side-scanners have become widely used in marine archaeological survey because of their ability to quickly create a high-resolution acoustic picture of the surface and texture of the sea-bottom, high-resolution sub- bottom profilers have not gained the same popularity in practical survey. It takes longer to cover an area with profiles with a reasonable resolution/ distance between them. Furthermore the sub-bottom profiles are significantly more difficult to interpret than the side-scan data. However, this should be weighed against the fact that a large part of the cultural heritage under water, and that is often the better preserved one, can be located only with high-resolution sub-bottom profilers because it is covered by re-deposited sediments. Furthermore the sub-bottom profilers can provide valuable detailed insights into the bottom’s small-scale geomorphology, which in relation to settlement investigations is added value (van Andel & Lianos 1984, Grøn 1990). 115 Further factors stimulating the archaeological interest in the submerged cultural heritage resources are the industrial peat exploitation and agricultural drainage of the land-based peat-bogs which through the 20th century led to a significant degradation of organic artefacts in these basins. Large numbers of Stone Age sites with well-preserved dwelling remains such as the famous ones excavated at Ulkestrup Lyng and Muldbjerg in Denmark (Andersen 1978; Andersen et al. 1982; Troels-Smith 1960) have lost their important organic component and appear today as mere concentrations of lithic artefacts. We may here have witnessed one of the largest cultural heritage disasters ever. This sad development underlines the special importance of the submerged areas, where intact and well preserved peat basins still can be found, as a last research resort with regard to detailed studies of the Stone Age and of the important process of Neolithisation (Grøn 1990, 1995; Grøn & Skaarup 2004). The presence of entire submerged cultural landscapes from the Stone Age with impressive preservation provide in some areas a unique context for these sites (fig. 2). Where these landscapes have not been damaged by erosion or covered by significant layers of soft sediment, that make them practically inaccessible, such a cultural resource should be managed with extreme care and thoughtfulness. Settlement surfaces from later periods than the Stone Age must, due to the more stable sea-level in this phase, in general be expected to play a less prominent role even though landslides in some cases such as Port Royal are known with disastrous speed to have transferred parts of settlements to submerged positions with good preservation (Marx 2003). However, constructions of poles and stones from these periods, such as harbours, piers, ferry landings, bridges, barrages and other defences against naval attacks are features that have been largely overseen because they are often not preserved above the bottom level and because their surprising preservation can easily be mistaken for the Fig. 1: Locations where important marine-archaeological results were obtained remains of modern pound-nets. with the Chirp system in the period 1994-1996. 116 The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate the practical potential of acoustic high-resolution sub- bottom profilers for marine archaeological large-scale survey in shallow water (0.5- 10.0 m). The focus will be on the so-called ‘chirp’ systems, because they according to our tests produce better results with regard to archaeological sites than single and dual frequency penetration- systems. For general survey the chirp systems also at the moment seem to represent a cost-effective and manageable methodology compared to the experimental 3D-acoustic systems that exist today. Few of the features distinguished with chirp in the Fig. 2: Side-scan recording cases presented in this paper would have been distinguishable with non- showing tree stumps and penetration systems such as side-scanners and multi-beam scanners. trunks on the bottom Furthermore it will provide examples of the use of chirp systems to along the banks of a small demonstrate the significant improvement of the interpretation of submerged watercourse flooded archaeological features they facilitate. The initial development of the approximately 5000 BC cal. method was carried through as a 3-year project period from 1994-1996 by The area shown is only about the authors. The work has since been continued by Grøn. Apart from the one kilometre from the Late authors’ institutions, the Archäologisches Landesmuseum der Christian- Mesolithic dwelling and Albrechts-Universität, Schleswig, the Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte nearby boat-grave excavated der Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Kiel, and the Institute of Geology, at the same depth (Skaarup Aarhus, have participated. The results achieved demonstrate that acoustic & Grøn 2004). technology has reached a level where a more general application of it to marine archaeological survey will be profitable. 2. Background and Method Sub-bottom profilers are echo-sounders that penetrate the bottom sediments with acoustic signals and from their reflections generate images (today a digital one) that reflect the features of the sea bottom’s sediments to a certain depth. Low frequencies give a good penetration but poor vertical resolution, 117 and so are not able to distinguish finer details. Higher frequencies yield bad penetration but good vertical resolution: that is a more detailed picture of the features below the bottom surface. Where the older systems employ only one or two frequencies, the chirp systems sweep a frequency interval. In this case a window of 2-23 kHz was used that combines a band of different frequencies with different penetration and resolution and has proved to be well suited for distinguishing archaeological features in shallow waters. Traditional systems with one hydrophone could not be operated successfully at depths less than a couple of metres. The application of more hydrophones to the systems has made it possible to obtain reasonable results at depths as small as 0.5 metres. While small depths are one problem, large depths are another. The longer the acoustic signal has to travel, the more it will be spread and accordingly lose its precision. We found that 0.5-10.0 m depth is an ideal operation area. At larger depths the ‘fish’ (transducer unit) with the hydrophones can be ‘deep-towed’ to obtain a reasonable recording distance to the bottom. An important improvement is the development of real-time processing of the data that facilitate a morphologically correct presentation of features embedded in the bottom. With earlier systems, anomalies could be distinguished only as diffraction hyperbolas that were mostly very difficult to interpret. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by our findings in Denmark in the project period: 7 barrages (underwater defences against ship attacks), 2 ferry landings and 1 possible breakwater that may have protected an old harbour. One of the barrages found is of a type hitherto unknown in this area. So far, the seven structures from Denmark that have received radiocarbon and dendrochronological datings belong to the period 80-1635 AD (1). Furthermore, 25 acoustic anomalies were observed and Fig. 3: Left: Recording with low degree of processing. Object in water recorded as verified in the harbour area of diffraction hyperbola.

(lower profile). Recording: Ole Grøn and Lars Erik Larsen, 1996. 1998). 118 For the survey a Chirp II system from Datasonics/Benthos (CAP-6600) was used. This system sweeps the interval from 2-23 kHz on two channels and shows good penetration even in sandy sediments with some organic content and in shallow water. It is important that the transducer unit (the ‘fish’) which can be operated in depths as small as 0.3 m is of such a size and weight that it can be transported by a single person. For the dynamic positioning, an Ashtech DGPS-navigation system with its own basis station was used. Every second a position with an accuracy of ± 0.3 m was stored with the seismic data in the seg-y format. The precise dynamic positioning allowed us to deviate from sailing straight parallel lines when this was preferable. Data recorded by sailing straight parallel lines tend to be difficult to interpret. Potentially interesting anomalies registered during such a recording would demand follow-up recording with several cross-profiles to establish their character as much as possible by seismics alone. On the basis of our experiences we trained in instant recognition of anomalies and immediate seismic check of their character instead of accepting a later recognition through processing in the laboratory as the basis for ensuing action.

  • Nonnebakken-En Skibsborg Fra 980
    Fynske Årbøger 1988 Nonnebakken-en skibsborg fra 980 Vikingeborgens rolle i Danmarkshistorien Af Poul Skaaning Den rette tolkning afTrelleborg, Aggersborg, Nonnebakken og Fyrkat har voldt store stridigheder, hvor både fagfolk og lægmænd har givet deres besyv med. Trelieborgs udgraver Poul Nørlund har fremsat den teori, som til dato harvundet størst tilslutning. Han mente, at borgene måtte ses i sammenhæng med danskernes erobring af England i 1013. Ifølge teorien var de altså bygget på befaling af Sven Tveskæg som en art træningslejre eller kaserner, hvor mandskabet uddannedes til krigstogterne hinsides Nordsøen. Den anden hovedteori fremkom o. 1970. Aksel E. Christensen og Tage E. Christiansen mente, at borgene var bygget af Harald Blåtand som tvangsborge mod det danske folk. Ifølge J elling-stenen vandt Ha­ rald sig al Danmark, og teoriens fortalere mente, at erobringen nød­ vendiggjorde en militærbesættelse. Der kan rettes mange indvendinger imod både træningslejr- og tvangsborgteorien. Bl.a. passer ingen af dem særlig godt til den den­ drokronologiske datering af borgene til 980. Dette årstal danner ud­ gangspunkt for følgende artikel. Den her opstillede teori kan man kalde skibsborgteorien. Den går ud på, at borgene blev bygget for at beskytte ledingsflådens langskibe efter Svens oprør mod sin fader kong Harald. Det er givet, at borgene kom til verden som følge af en politisk be­ slutning. Enten var det kong Harald eller også hans søn Sven Tve­ skæg, som besluttede at bygge borgene i sommeren 980. Kun de to havde tilstrækkelig politisk og militær magt til at træffe en så vidtræk• kende beslutning. I sommeren 980 byggede henved l 000 mand fra ledingshæren for­ uden et ukendt antal civilister borg ved Odense Å.

  • A Possible Ring Fort from the Late Viking Period in Helsingborg
    A POSSIBLE RING FORT FROM THE LATE VIKING PERIOD IN HELSINGBORG Margareta This paper is based on the author's earlier archaeologi- cal excavations at St Clemens Church in Helsingborg en-Hallerdt Weidhag as well as an investigation in rg87 immediately to the north of the church. On this occasion part of a ditch from a supposed medieval ring fort, estimated to be about a7o m in diameter, was unexpectedly found. This discovery once again raised the question as to whether an early ring fort had existed here, as suggested by the place name. The probability of such is strengthened by the newly discovered ring forts in south-western Scania: Borgeby and Trelleborg. In terms of time these have been ranked with four circular fortresses in Denmark found much earlier, the dendrochronological dating of which is y8o/g8r. The discoveries of the Scanian ring forts have thrown new light on south Scandinavian history during the period AD yLgo —zogo. This paper can thus be regarded as a contribution to the debate. Key words: Viking Age, Trelleborg-type fortress, ri»g forts, Helsingborg, Scania, Denmark INTRODUCTION Helsingborg's location on the strait of Öresund (the Sound) and its special topography have undoubtedly been of decisive importance for the establishment of the town and its further development. Opinions as to the meaning of the place name have long been divided, but now the military aspect of the last element of the name has gained the up- per. hand. Nothing in the find material indicates that the town owed its growth to crafts, market or trade activity.

Remote sensing using airborne and satellite sensors is an essential tool for rapidly investigating human traces over large surfaces of our planet, but even large monumental structures may be visible as only faint indications on the surface. In this paper, we demonstrate the utility of a machine learning approach using airborne laser scanning data to address a “needle-in-a-haystack” problem, which involves the search for remnants of Viking ring fortresses throughout Denmark. First ring detection was applied using the Hough circle transformations and template matching, which detected 202,048 circular features in Denmark. This was reduced to 199 candidate sites by using their geometric properties and the application of machine learning techniques to classify the cultural and topographic context of the features. Two of these near perfectly circular features are convincing candidates for Viking Age fortresses, and two are candidates for either glacial landscape features or simple meteor craters.

Siden fundet af ringborgen Trelleborg ved Slagelse i 1934 og de føl- gende fund af nærtbeslægtede anlæg – Fyrkat ved Mariagerfjord, Ag- gersborg ved Limfjorden, Nonnebakken i Odense, Borgeby i Skåne og nu senest muligvis også Borgring ved Køge – har ringborgene stået centralt i udforskningen af Danmark i den sene vikingetid. Trelleborg, Fyrkat og Aggersborg er dokumenterede gennem omfattende udgrav- ninger, men hidtil har alene udgravningerne af Trelleborg og Fyrkat været fyldestgørende publiceret, henholdsvis i 1948 af Poul Nørlund og i 1977 af Olaf Olsen, Holger Schmidt og Else Roesdahl. Det er der- for glædeligt, at Aggersborg, der allerede blev udgravet 1945-52 og med enkelte senere arkæologiske undersøgelser, nu endelig også fore- ligger dokumenteret i en omfattende publikation. Udgivelsen, der er rigt illustreret, giver et omfattende indblik i ud- gravningernes historik og resultater, og den genstandsorienterede læ- ser vil finde udgivelsen rig på detailinformationer. Redaktørerne Else Roesdahl og Søren Sindbæk står for hovedparten af teksten, hvortil kommer en række detailstudier, hovedsageligt i de to kapitler om gen- standsfundene og de zoologiske fund, af andre bidragsydere.1 Dele af disse bidrag er opdaterede udgaver af undersøgelser, der blev skrevet i slutningen af 1970’erne og begyndelsen af 1980’erne, hvor en pub- likation af Aggersborg var påtænkt. På lokaliteten, hvor Aggersborg blev anlagt, lå tidligere en stormandsgård med en brugsperiode fra omkring anden halvdel af 700-tallet og umiddelbart frem til ringbor- gens anlæggelse.

Også på en mørk morgen i november: Jørgen Poulsen, Vikingelandsbyen i Albertslunds leder gennem 20 år, var på vej på pension. Og dén eksperimentelle og formidlende arkæologi, som Vikingelandsbyen har praktiseret og udviklet, er helt enestående. Så hvorfor ikke fejre ham og Vikingelandsbyen med et seminar? Ikke et forskningsseminar i traditionel forstand, men et seminar, hvor alle med nyt om vikingetiden delagtiggjorde os andre i deres viden. Kort og præcist. Så vi alle sammen blev klogere. Og hvorfor ikke også omsætte denne viden til en publikation? Ikke en bog på glittet papir, men en brugsbog, et øjebliksbillede af de problemer inden for vikingetidsforskningen, der optog os den dag, hvor Jørgen Poulsen sagde farvel til Vikingelandsbyen. Men var det muligt at transformere en tanke i november til seminar og publikation i februar? Ja, men kun fordi jeg har det store privilegium at kende så mange, der ved så meget om vikingetid.
