The Royal manor Avaldsnes in southwest Norway holds a rich history testified by 13^th century sagas and exceptional graves from the first millennium AD. In 2011-12 the settlement was excavated. In this first book from the project crucial results from an international team of 23 scholars are published. The chapters cover a wide array of topics ranging from building-remains and scientific analyses of finds to landownership and ritual manifestations.
