Bybanen i Bergen og manglende arkivundersøkelser

A critical analysis reveals that the proposed route for Bergen's Bybanen tram system assumes the presence of a stable stone fill over sterile seabed, implying historical seabed layers have been removed. This assumption poses risks to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bryggen, as it suggests cultural layers may remain undisturbed, potentially threatening their preservation. The study highlights gaps in archival investigations, emphasizing the need for thorough archaeological assessments before construction begins.
