Abstract [en]

In April and May 2022, Uppsala University, Campus Gotland conducted seminar excavations at Västergarn, 25 kilometers southwest of Visby. Five trenches and two trial trenches were investigated covering an area of 208 sqm. At Snauvalds 1:2 four early medieval house structures have been exposed out of which two had been excavated. According to 14C the the two houses investigated date between c. 1040-1180/1230s. House 11 c. 4.5x7 meters is a one-room cabin with an oven places in the south-west corner. The building shows evidence of various crafts, including blacksmithing, textiles and the production of beads. House 12, a post two room cabin, c. 5x8 meters also with a hearth was probably used as a residence. The open space between house 11 and 11 was interpreted as a yard with evidence of processing cat furs and other activities. The purpose of the investigation at Hamngården 1:2 was to locate the harbor area of medieval Västergarn west of Klintehamnvägen. A geomagnetic survey conducted on the property in 2022 indicated anomalies in the beach meadow. For this purpose, a search trench was opened in an east-west direction between Klintehamnvägen and Västergarnsån. Coin and pottery finds indicate activities between 16th and 18th centuries. The find material has probably a connection with Hamngården, the residence of the port bailiff mentioned in the hictorical sources.
