Hovedinnhold

The book disucsses the results of ecological, palaeoecological, archaeological, historical, and biodiversity studies in DYLAN's four study areas

  • Erdalen and Sunndalen in western Norway
  • Grimsdalen in central Norway
  • Budalen in central Norway
  • Dividalen in northern Norway

The book is a wonderful demonstration of the value of combining modern ecological and long-term palaeoecological studies with historical and archaeological investigations to decipher the history and development of cultural landscapes in Norwegian mountain areas.

Kari Hjelle is a co-author of four of the nine chapters. Other EECRG associated members involved are Mons Kvamme and Brith Natlandsmyr. Congratulations to Kari, Mons, Brith, Gunnar Austrheim, and the other DYLAN member for producing this excellent book.
