In World War II, during the German occupation of Norway (AD 1940 – 1945), the German occu-pational forces established an airfield in the central parts of Ørland. The main part of the airfield was located at Vik. After the war, the Norwegian Air Force developed the airfield as a base for F16 jet fighters (Hovd 2004). In 2012, the Norwegian Parliament decided on investing in an entirely new fleet of F35 jet fighters, and that these jets should be stationed in Ørland. As a result, the existing air base had to be enlarged. As part of the planning of the extended air base, an extensive archaeological survey was conducted by Sør-Trøndelag (South Trøndelag) County Council in 2013 nd 4). The survey revealed that relatively dense Iron Age settlement traces were located along the central ridge running through Ørland from north to south, approximately 11m above the present day sea level. A large part of the surveyed archaeological remains were found within the planned extension area of the air base at Vik (Haugen, Sjøbakk & Stomsvik 2014). An initial archaeological excavation was con-ducted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) University Museum in 2014, in order to allow for the building of a tempo-rary construction road. The excavation revealed the outskirts of early Iron Age settlement areas, with postholes, cooking pits, agricultural layers and water holes (Fields 1-3, Figure 5; Engtrø & Haug 2015). The main part of the archaeological excavation was conducted by the NTNU University Museum in 2015 and 2016 (Fields A-E, Figure 5; Ystgaard et al. 2018). The survey and excavations were financed by the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA), according to the terms of the exemption from the protection by the Cultural Heritage Act granted by the Directorate for Cultural Heritage. In a sep-arate agreement between the NDEA and NTNU University Museum, the NDEA agreed to finance he publication of results from the excavation in a scientific publication – the present book.
