“…Kristian Kristiansen mener at forholdet mellem den kosmologiske og politiske organisering af økonomien i landskabet var en betydelig arena for social og politisk konkurrence (Kristiansen 2006:171), og da landbrugsproduktionen i slutningen af bronzealder oplevede økologisk krise, så brød systemet sammen (Kristansen 2018:126). Overfor dette kan man som David Liversage opponere, at den gødsk ning som nu kan påvises i det tidlige jordbrug, taler for at ikke perifere jordbrugsom-råder ville kunne dyrkes mere kontinuerligt end foreslået (Liversage 1999). Det er et forhold som genfindes fra Vestlandet, hvor gødskning generelt erkendes i tidlige jordbrugskontekster og permanente marker kendes fra starten af jernalder (Diinhoff 1999).…”

In the summer months of 2013, the University Museum of Bergen conducted an archeological excavation of a large prehistoric settlement area at Etnesjøen in Etne parish, Western Norway. By use of mechanized top soil stripping numerous buildings, inhumation burials, cooking pits and kilns were uncovered. The site dates from the Late Bronze Age to Early Medieval Period. The focus of the article is the discovery of a Pre-Roman Iron Age village, formed of up to six farms chronologically spanning up to five generations of continuous occupation. At the time of the excavation, this was only the second pre-historic village of its kind found in Norway, indicating a significant and important discovery.

“…This periodic land instability produced sand deposits sufficiently thick to preserve prehistoric living floors of houses and plow layers of surrounding cropland over large areas. This has provided excellent conditions for archaeological research (Liversage et al, 1987;Rapp and Hill, 1998:34;Liversage, 1999).…”

Soilscape and land‐use evolution related to drift sand movements since the bronze age in Eastern Jutland, Denmark

Quarry faces several kilometers long in the Glesborg area in Denmark show that Bronze Age farmers used a sustainable land-use system. Despite nutrient-poor soils, the Glesborg area was under a rotation system in which cropland alternated with grassland. Soil fertility was improved by the addition of household waste and probably also by locally obtained inorganic fertilizer. The soil surface was very stable, and local drift sand movement was limited. Toward the end of the Bronze Age, the landscape changed dramatically with the arrival of overwhelming amounts of drift sand, and farmsteads were abandoned. Subsequent land use on these poor fine sandy soils was no longer capable of maintaining a stable soil surface, and frequent erosion/sedimentation events of more local importance took place. The post-Bronze Age landscape may have been mainly a shifting mosaic of heathland with some temporary arable fields and deflation/accumulation areas. This landscape persisted up to about 200 years ago, when afforestation programs started
