Ajvide Settlement
Ancient settlement in Gotland, Sweden
The Ajvide Settlement (Swedish: Ajvideboplatsen) is located in Ajvide, Eksta, on the western coast of Gotland, Sweden. It covers an area of 200,000 m2 (2,200,000 sq ft) and was occupied from the Late Mesolithic through to the mid Bronze Age.[1] The majority of the activity on the site took place during the Middle Neolithic period (3100 – 2700 BC). This phase of activity belongs to the Pitted Ware culture.[2] Around 2900 BC, the site suffered from a marine transgression.[2]
