Description
Investigations at Avaldsnes on Karmøy have provided new insights into grain cultivation. Avaldsnes was a royal estate from the time of Harald Fairhair in the ninth century. The investigations show that barley was the most common grain crop until c. 1000. After this time, wheat or oats become more common, becoming dominant c. 1300. Analysis of the weeds in the area suggests that ard-ploughing was the dominant technology up until c. 1200, after which the mouldboard plough became more common.
