Bytomt, approx. 650 x 300-530 meters (N-S) for Örja village’s distribution before the shift. - Appendix dnr 321-1776-2006: Sitting about 650 x 530-300 metres (N-S) and about 195-90 metres (NV-SÖ) In ...2006, a special investigation was carried out in the eastern part of the village plot in connection with building houses. Schakt was drawn within the prey’s extent and beyond. In the investigation, the west of the village road was found not to be of antiquarian interest. To the east of the village road was found on the site of and around the historically known estate No. 3 over 200 archaeological objects, the majority of which was grazed by pole holes. The other remains were wells, pits, ditches and a larger contiguous cultural warehouse area of around 220 sqm. In the north of the investigation area, preserved cultural layers were found after a building that was not excellent on older mapping material. The find material is dated to 1200-1800s, but the post built settlement on the toplands is probably to be attributed to younger Iron Age.
- Appendix dnr 321-119-2009: The Swedish National Heritage Office UV Syd conducted a special investigation in the V part of the village, in 2008. Within the village plot, preserved remains were found from historically known farms. Three of the chase directly involved building tracks in the form of warehouses (floor storage, fire storage, rations, farm plans). The location of farm 12 and farm 20 was well in agreement with the 1761 year map, while farm 16 could only be farmed in the form of a single, diffuse layer of culture. In connection with the farms, too, it was seen that the topography originated differently from today, mainly with regard to the plot for farm 12. The cultural layers rested here on mighty cadastral layers, during which the above related settlement traces from an older (prehistoric) period emerged. In the layers of culture, finds associated with the period late to recent times before 1850 appeared, but the depth of dating requires a closer examination than was possible in the investigation. The V-part of the booty superimposes a nest site.
- Appendix dnr 321-2005-2009 & 321-512-2010: In archaeological preliminary investigation in 2009, shaft was found on all four farms affected. There are powerful and complex stock sequences and a wide variety of finds. In addition to building fittings, wells, border markings, cabbage yards and an older country road are also available here. On three of the farms (1, 12 and 20), burials of the type appeared pole holes, ditches and pits. The find material shows a time span from the early Middle Ages to modern times. Sprits over much of the plot, especially frequent around farm 16, could detect musk bullets that testify to the Danish-Swedish warfare actions in the later part of the 16th century.
- Appendix Swedish National Heritage Board dnr 321-969-2010: The Swedish National Heritage Office UV Syd carried out an archaeological investigation in 2009, within the property Örja 1: 9. A shaft about 0.60 m wide and 100 m long north south chase along the E6th line was found in the shaft.
A total of 5 archaeological contexts were found during the excavation. A1 was the warehouse to the north with burnt clay and charcoal about 1.3 m long. The A2 was a 0.4 m pit 35 m from the north. At about 40 m, a 0.4 m pole hole (A3) emerged and at 67 m another equal pole hole (A4). At the bottom of the south at the border of the farm against the field, a row of larger stones was found that was interpreted as an old yard (A5). The camps were interpreted to be remnants after the old farm settlement for farm no. 1 and possibly also after the Iron Age settlement located below the village plot.
No findings emerged during the chase. See Örja 35 for a more detailed description of the preliminary investigation above.
- Appendix dnr 321-370-2011: The Swedish National Heritage Office UV Syd carried out a special investigation in 2010. Within the western part of the village plot, an area of approximately 100x400 m in four historically known farms was settled: (from the north) farms Nos 1, 12, 20 and 16. The entire village plot showed fine conservation conditions with mighty and complicated layer sequences. A 40’s building fittings in the form of pole holes, sewing stones, stone lift, furnaces and floor and drainage layers were found. In addition to building fittings, there were also clay bottoms, wells, pits, herds, ditches, layers of culture and older soil horizons. All food soils and all contexts were systematically detected, purifying a large metal find material.
On Gård 1, 14 buildings from 1000-1900s were examined. The oldest houses were stone-built and it is possible that some of them can be dated in the 900s. Many wells were found in the courtyard and east of the building fittings. The farm situation may have continued north outside the survey area. The stratigraphic layer sequence was at most 0.80 m. The farm’s finding material consisted inter alia of coins, an enamel cell fibula, urn buckle, bishop’s pendant, biconic weight, lead seals, lead dragonflies, cannonball, lead balls, hand grenade splits and a wooden barrel.
On Gård 12, 17 construction sites emerged, ranging from 1000-1800s in time. However, the estate in the 15th century lacked a settlement. The north west of the farm was damaged by burials for a modern house with cellars. The oldest house in the yard was built in a post. Wells were found on the farm plan and east of the settlement. A syllabus house had served as a smoking house in the Middle Ages, mainly smoked fish. Several clay bottoms suggested that activities with fish had started already in the early Middle Ages. The stratigraphic stock sequence on farm 12 amounted to 0.7 m. The farm’s findings included, inter alia: Coins, folds with runes, lead crosses, buckle, Slavic knife slides, grinding stones for hand mills, brows, cutters, marks, fish lusts, a large tuna boot, glass beads, bone flutes, armbrush arrows, a cannonball and lead balls.
On Gård 20, 8 buildings were found, ranging from 1000-1400s in time. The younger remains on the farm were badly damaged by modern agricultural activity. The oldest house in the yard was built in a post. Some wells belonged to the estate. From the 1600-17th century there were scattered raging layers, especially within the eastern part of the farm. A large pit was found that probably originated from the 16th century. The stratigraphic stock sequence of the farm amounted to 0.4 m. The finding material consisted inter alia of coins, leg combs, lead dragonflies, loom weight, leg needles, thimbles, glass beads and lead balls.
Within the area of Gård 16, 3 buildings were found, a post built house and two built on rock. The houses were dated 1000s and 1600-1700s respectively. The stratigraphic layer sequence amounted to 0.35 m. The finds consisted blah. of ceramics, tiles, iron objects, lead balls and coins. In the 1700s, a pond was laid to the west of the estate, which was in use until the 1950s when it was laid again. To the south of Gård 16, in an area of land that belonged to Gård 19 and Gård 21 in 1761, three houses were found to have been built, which were provisionally dated 1000s.
An older stretch of road that had moved in an east-west direction in the south of the village could be paved in the southern part of the survey area. It appeared as a 6 m wide hollow-like recess. Many horseshoes, horseshoes and nail emerged here.
Across the surface of the village plot, especially in the plow layer, several hundred projectiles were found from the clashes between Danes and Swedes at the end of the 1670s. The material consisted of lead bullets, gun bullets, hand grenade splitter and grape hail. Two cannonballs were found on Gård 1 and 12. The composition of the finds, containing all the weapons blows used in war situations at the time, showed that all the troop teams were represented on the scene. The military finds showed that it was a regular blow, the “Battle of Örja,” which took place in the village.
The extent of the boom changed slightly to V, according to the survey results.
