Since 2000, the Sunnerby project has conducted archaeological research with annual excavations on Kållandsö in Västergötland. An aristocratic habitat with, among other things, a hall building from the younger Iron Age and graves on the adjacent burial ground have been investigated as well as the remains of a medieval church with a cemetery. One of the investigated graves is Kungshögen, a large mound from the 6th century. It is important to note that similar burial environments have not been investigated archaeologically before in western Sweden. The hall in Sunnerby is contemporary with Kungshögen and it is easy to imagine that one of the men buried in Kungshögen sat as a chief in the hall. The hall has been a magnificent building, 12 meters wide and about 35 meters long with large posts that in pairs carried the roof. From the traces in the ground we understand that the building was of impressive size and fully comparable with similar buildings from aristocratic environments in the rest of Scandinavia. We have previously only a few examples of aristocratic habitats with hall buildings in a West Swedish context. After thirteen years of archaeological fieldwork, work is now underway to summarize and present the results.
