Revising the model for Holocene shorelines in the Altafjord-Sørøysund region

SARG is collaborating with NGU (Geological Survey of Norway) in updating the the model for shoreline displacements. This will help us reconstruct prehistoric landscapes and also provde more detailed basis for shoreline dating, often used for dating rock art and settlements.

Use-wear and residue analyses of lithic artefacts from Northern Norway

A test study of a range of lithic artefacts manufactured from different raw materials was conducted in 2017. This indicated a very promising potential, and in 2018 a pilot study of slate knives were initiated. Extensive experiments on reproduced edges were conducted and analyses are ongoing.
