Abstract
Excavation report (in Norwegian). Small-scale excavation of house-pit. An oval, 4,5 x 3,7 m, shallow house-pit was test-excavated by a 0,5 x 0,5 m field in the middle of the floor area. Several layers of charcoal, partly separated by sand-layser were observed in an assumed central hearth. No hearth-stones or finds. RAdiocarbon dates point to at least two separate use-phases, one in the Late Atone Age c. 3800 BC) and one in the early Medieval period. A date from a previous test-pit could represent a third, intercepting, dwelling episode, alternatively a mixing of the two stratigraphically separable layers. A stone-lined hearth situated outside the house-pit was dated to 1880-1690 BC, i.e. Early Metal Age. Related publication:Blankholm, H. P. and Skandfer, M.

Highlights
Tuften(-e) er mer eller mindre jevnt runde, omkring 5 m i diameter og 0,5 m dype
Dateringen er en av de veldig få fra indre Finnmark som ligger i den såkalte “funntomme perioden” i det første tusenåret e.Kr. og kanskje den eneste som er assosiert med en tydelig struktur
Dette er viktig siden det har viste seg at mange hustufter i indre Finnmark har blitt gjenbrukt over tid
Summary
Rapport fra prøvegraving: ID 169787-2 tuft overfor Jergul, Karasjok k., Finnmark, 2013 På sørsida av Iešjohka, rett overfor bygda Jergul, ble det i 2012 registrert en sikker og en mulig tuft (Skandfer 2012a). Et 20 x 20 cm prøvestikk i sentrum av den sikre tufta ga trekull som ble radiokarbondatert til 570-635 e.Kr. Dateringen er en av de veldig få fra indre Finnmark som ligger i den såkalte “funntomme perioden” i det første tusenåret e.Kr. og kanskje den eneste som er assosiert med en tydelig struktur.
