Nötanabben Gravfält submitted by Martin_L : One of the several stone-settings at Nötanabben. July 1991. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Large cemetery from Stone-, Bronze- and Iron-age near Ronneby in Blekinge, beautifully situated near the coast. Consisting of approximately 95 monuments.

Dimensions approximately 190 x 60m. Several stone settings of various size and shape (4 circular (domarringar), 21 ship settings (skeppsättningar), 5 irregular (oregelbunden), 7 five-sided). Furthermore there are 17 solitary stones (rest stenar), 33 small barrows (högar) 1 cairn (röse) and some other monuments.
In summer 1991 this was a magnificent and remote site and I spent several hours out there.
A round cemetery of the victims of the 19c cholera epidemic lies at the entrance of the site.

The path to the site described on the LANTMÄTERIET (Swedish 'Ordinance Suvey') 511 "Ronneby" Terrängkartan (1:50,000 topographic map) which start at the Southeast point of the site (56.13929N,15.31099E) is often closed by a blockade bar, you should park your car at open space, WC attached, at the Southwest point called Gökalv (56.14338N,15.2889E) and follow the path along the seashore

Note: 9,000-year-old fish bones discovered in southern Sweden provide earliest evidence of fermentation for food preservation anywhere in the world, see the comment on our page for more.

Rotten luck: archaeologists hail 'unique' Mesolithic fermented fish find by Andy B on Tuesday, 09 February 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
9,000-year-old fish bones discovered in southern Sweden provides earliest evidence of fermentation for food preservation anywhere in the world.

Maev Kennedy writes: The Scandinavian diet is famously hard going for anyone who doesn’t like pickled fish – and a unique archaeological discovery has proved that it was exactly the same more than 9,000 years ago.

The find has revealed that freshwater fish were being fermented on an industrial scale in southern Sweden, through a complicated and distinctly unappetising process involving pine bark and seal blubber, which made the region capable of supporting a far larger population than previously thought.

The discovery was made during the excavation of an early Mesolithic settlement site in Blekinge, on the Baltic sea in southern Sweden. It is the earliest evidence of fermentation being used to preserve food anywhere in the world.

Adam Boethius, an osteologist at Lund University, who publishes his findings this week in the Journal of Archaeological Science (under the title Something Rotten in Scandinavia) said: “The discovery is quite unique as a find like this has never been made before. That is partly because fish bones are so fragile and disappear more easily than, for example, bones of land animals. In this case, the conditions were quite favourable, which helped preserve the remains.”
