Archaeology in the Tanum World Heritage Area. An anthology consisting of scientific studies based on the final archaeological excavations to be carried out along the motorway E6 in the Tanum World Heritage area, Sweden. Mesolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Middle Age, Rock Art, Ritual, Burial, Settlement, Landscape, Cultivation, Sampling, World Heritage. Summaries in English.

The Nya Lödöse site, a sixteenth century town buried beneath present-day Gothenburg, is currently undergoing large-scale archaeological excavation. This article presents some aspects on the project as such; organization, cooperation between different actors, documentation methods, and the conservation of the excavated finds.

This volume presents the results of the analysis of the Princes Channel Wreck, a 16th-century merchant vessel, later to be termed the Gresham Ship, a working name assigned to the wreck after the English merchant and financier Sir Thomas Gresham, the owner of the gun foundry which produced one of the guns found on
board.
As yet, little is known about the voyages this ship undertook in its lifetime or the events that led to its loss in the Thames Estuary, but its final journey, from excavation to its current and hopefully last resting place, was certainly long and adventurous. Between 2004 and 2012 the wreck travelled from the Port of London Authority docks in Gravesend to Horsea Lake in Portsmouth and later to the Stoney Cove National Diving Centre in Leicestershire.
This journey is also reflected in the long and just as adventurous process of analysis and finally publication. The current volume is the result of a series of field schools and surveys, university courses and student projects as well as specialist analyses, involving students, staff and researchers from a wide range of institutions, including the University of Southern Denmark and University College London.
This volume describes the discovery, and the sequence and methodology of the archaeological interventions, as well as the wreck and related armament. Some aspects, such as reconstruction and hull design, as well as a
comparative analysis of the ship and its construction, are dealt with extensively, while others, such as archival research into the history and loss of the ship still remain to be considered and offer potential for future research.
