SKATVAL - Our historical inheritance- Volume IV
The earliest days

Volume IV was presented in November 2005 and covers the general historical basis for life in the Skatval area. This means the area geology, climate, flora and fauna as well as the first settlements and their development through the period from 8-9000 BC until about 1030 AC. It also covers lapp settlements, the use of runes and the mark of the landowners, and it also gives insight into the Norse language and the origin of topographic and farm names.

The period after 1030 AC will be dealt with in additional books.
