| 520 | 8 | |a The theme of this study is the large-scale exploitation of different stone products that took place in Norway during the Viking age and the Middle Ages (c. AD 800-1500). The research is based on analyses of two different quarry landscapes in western Norway: the quernstone quarries in Hyllestad, Sogn og Fjordane, and the bakestone quarries in Olve and Hatlestrand, Hordaland. The centre of attention is the production of utility artefacts: quernstones, millstones and bakestones, as well as more symbolic products such as stone crosses. | |
