| Abstract: | THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORK which has been carried out in Norwegian towns in recent years has resulted in the medieval town being regarded as a single monument. Permanent excavation offices have been established in the most important medieval towns. Survey accounts of archaeological data and other relevant information form important tools for safeguarding archaeological interests, both in connection with excavation and with the administrative co-ordination of the clauses in the Cultural Heritage Act. The large number of excavations in recent years has left little time for research but this is now being given the highest priority. |
