Sedan Riksantikvarieämbetets rikstäckande fornminnesinventeringar under 1980 och 90-talen har kunskapsläget för en rad fornlämningstyper förändrats, särskilt tydligt är detta för agrara lämningar. I föreliggande uppsats har en kritisk granskning av FMIS utförts med hjälp av en detaljkartering av en del av ett sedan tidigare känt fornlämningsområde i Södra Rörums socken, Skåne. En för kulturmiljövården ny inventeringsmetod, linjetaxering, har testats på samma fornlämningsområde. Linjetaxering har inte använts i större utsträckning inom arkeologi och kulturgeografi men är vanligt förekommande inom t.ex. biologi.

There are none known Bronze Age settlement on Gotland, although there are severalexcavation reports that mention that they have found a probable Bronze Age settlement. In the excavation that have been done in the study areas, there are Bronze Age dated hearths, cooking pits and post holes. These study areas have been investigated if they might be possible Bronze Age settlements. This paper discusses about the criteria of settlements and also investigate if the study areas meet those criterias. There are many different criteria for settlement but only the criteria of FMIS are used in the study.

This paper deals with village history around millstone quarry Eastern Utsjö in Malung, Sweden, in the hope of finding deposits that could date the quarry, in that the quarry in the current situation is dated only by the millstone fragments outside the resort. My purpose was to conduct a discussion on the quarry alone can be dated by deposits outside the resort. I have used FMIS RAÄ:s fornsök and a lot of literature to identify village history. The results showed that it is not possible to date the millstone quarry from village history, but through deposits outside the resort of Malung, which have been found around Mälardalen, Sweden through archaeological excavations, and derived from the millstone quarry Eastern Utsjö, can put an age on the quarry..
