<p>The aim of this study was through applying a new perspective reach the people who during medieval time lived and worked on the farm. On the basis of my previously study and a gender perspective this study have compared general literature with local and then interpreted the farm from a local context. The questions raised here concerns division of work and spatial distribution on the farm as well as local impact on gender constructions.This study resulted in interesting problems within the archaeology itself but also in significant details about the farm. No gender restrictions could be seen in the houses except in Hus 1 were a smaller space, which probably used as storage or a workshop had been restricted tomales. Instead the buildings social space mainly consisted of a mixed gender environment. Furthermore, the women on the farm worked with food preparation and cooking as well as textile handicrafts, while the men’s work consisted of hunting, fishing, stone knapping, blacksmith and wood work. An impact from the local law could also been seen on the farm.</p>
