دانلود کتاب Vestfold Ship Burials: Management Plan 2012-2016

The Management Plan for the Vestfold ship burials has been prepared in conjunction with the World Heritage nomination of Viking Age Sites in Northern Europe. If the nomination is successful, the current management plan will be replaced by a second-generation management plan in keeping with UNESCO’s routines for monitoring and periodic reporting.

The component part of Vestfold ship burials consists of the archaeological sites of the Borre mounds, the Oseberg mound and the Gokstad mound. Together with the Hyllestad Quernstone Quarries, the Vestfold ship burials constitute the Norwegian component parts of the transnational, serial nomination Viking Age Sites in Northern Europe. Altogether the transnational, serial nomination incorporates five countries with seven component parts that together shed light on the Viking Age as the transition between politically unstable chiefdoms to early states. The preparation of the nomination dossier has been coordinated by an Icelandic secretariat in co-operation with each of the five States Parties. In Norway, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage, on behalf of the Ministry of Climate and Environment as the State Party, has served as the national point of coordination.
