dc.description.abstractFarm mounds – built-up archaeological deposits from long term rural settlements at fixed sites – is a characteristic of the medieval rural settlement in northern Norway, the Norse settlements on the North Atlantic Islands, the south west coast line of the North Sea and the Iron Age settlements in Northwest Jutland. The main elements of the farm mound deposits are house remains from houses built of wood and turf sods, and general household waste. A farm mound or settlement mound may support only a single farm, or several farms or holdings. In the present paper, the north Norwegian farm mounds are compared to the medieval rural settlement in eastern Norway and to the Iron Age settlement mounds of north Jutland. It is argued that the formation of settlement mounds is a result of both social structures and economic strategies, the mounds representing an economical emphasis on husbandry in combination with fishing and other non-agricultural resources
