Abstract

During the field seasons, 2005-2007, the Swedish National Heritage Board in Linköping, examined several Stone Age sites in the province of Östergötland. These belonged to the Central Swedish Funnel Beaker Culture (TRB). The paper mainly focuses on the remains of longhouses and pottery from the documented sites. Three settlements from the Funnel Beaker Culture are presented; Veta outside Mantorp, Kimstad south-west of Norrköping and Kränge outside the city of Linköping. Some interesting TRB pottery came from Ramshäll in central Linköping, which will also be discussed. Previously, TRB pottery has been infrequent in the central part of Östergötland. Several of the pottery finds were analyzed by Ole Stilborg at The Laboratory for Ceramic Research in Lund. Fredrik Hallgren, Uppsala, has briefly commented the fragments from the settlement at Kränge.
