This essay investigates the archaeological sites at Överveda, Nordingrå parish, in Ångermanland, through the lens of modern GIS technology and spatial analysis. The objective is to contextualize the Överveda sites by comparing their characteristics with other nearby sites, both spatial and chronological. This research involves spatial analyses, artifact distribution studies, and evaluations of the sites' relationships to ancient shorelines. The essay seeks to understand the typology of Överveda, proposed by previous research as a seasonal gathering site, and to assess its classification within the broader spectrum of settlement types. By integrating new cartographic data and employing GIS modeling, this essay aims to provide a more coherent and comprehensive understanding of the archaeological significance of the Överveda sites and their historical context. The findings are based on archaeological excavations and surveys, with results presented in tables, diagrams, and distribution maps generated from the analyses.
