This publication presents advances in the archaeological surveying of iron production sites using geophysical methods and lidar ('light detection and ranging'). The papers published here were given at a workshop arranged by the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim on 12–13 March 2015.
After the workshop, the attendees were invited by the organising committee to publish their presentations as articles in the DKNVS (Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters) Transactions. After the workshop was held, some of the presentations have been published elsewhere, and for various reasons, some attendees were unable to submit their papers. Ultimately, four papers from the workshop constitute this publication, written by Jørgensen, Olesen, Risbøl and Gustavsen, and Stamnes, Stenvik and Gaffney. As the deadline for submitting manuscripts was late 2015, the articles generally do not include research on the respective topics published after 2015.
