Sundfjæra
is a relatively sheltered shallow bay with a flatter
area towards the seashore in the south and a marked
rising of terrain towards the north. Due to practical
reasons we have divided the area in two archaeological
sites; Sundfjaera nedre
and Sundfjaera midtre.
The upper area is situated on the edge of a terrace,
and here remains from early stone age were found, while
the lower area has younger remains.
Sundfjaera is divided in two
archaeological sites. Sundfjaera midtre stretches
from the upper part of the stripped field and
down to the narrower and steeper area. Sundfjaera
nedre comprises the area from this part and
down to the seashore.

Sundfjaera. The surface stripping is now complete,
and the dwellings can be seen as darker shapes
in the lighter ancient beach.
