The section is responsible for managing casework in relation to the Norwegian Law of Antiquities and excavating archaeological sites. Each year a variety of sites are investigated in Bergen Museum's district.
We have also been delegated a central role in the documentation and conservation of rock art.
Please bear with us while we construct our English site. In the mean time please visit our Norwegian pages here.
Please note that as of January 1, 2015, the section has a new name, Fornminneseksjonen, and is placed under a new department:
Universitetet i Bergen
Universitetsmuseet i Bergen
Avdeling for kulturhistorie
Fornminnesekseksjonen
