  The study of Mesolithic blade industries in northern Europe has contributed to gaining a deeper insight into prehistoric technological choices by applying a dynamical technological approach. In this study, the authors applied this approach to Middle and Late Mesolithic microblade industries in eastern Norway in order to study regional developments. A total of 45 pressured cores derived from seven open-air sites excavated by the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo (2010–2012) were analyzed taking into account metrical values and technological traits. The results show three distinct phases in the studied material. The earliest phase (c. 7500– 7200 cal BC) was characterized by a standardized conical core concept. The second phase (c. 7200–6100 cal BC) showed both conical and single fronted cores, while in the youngest phase (c. 5400–3900 cal BC) the single fronted core concept was predominant. Based on previous experimental research, the authors argue that this reflects a slow transition from the use of V-shaped holding devices in the Middle Mesolithic to pocket devices and handheld reduction techniques in the Late Mesolithic.

  Excavations at Gjærlu, Rømma, Kroksti and Skramstad were mainly focused on cooking pits. In addition to the 118 cooking pits that have been found, a clearance cairn underneath cultivation layers at Gjærlu and two kilns at Rømma were investigated. One of the kilns contained both cereals and seeds of juniper, white goosefoot (Chenopodium), Rubiaceae (Galium)
