The later settlement

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In contrast to the settlement that preceded the construction of the monuments in Jelling, the later settlement, which was contemporary with the earliest stone church, is less obvious. It is particularly within the north-east quadrant of the enclosure that it is possible to gain an insight, albeit a sporadic one, into this later development. During the initial excavations of the northern palisade line in 2006/7, a single building was observed, which was stratigraphically later than the palisade, and during the subsequent excavation campaign in 2010, further evidence of buildings and features belonging to a later, more loosely structured activity horizon was identified within the north-east quadrant
