This paper presents a research project on the earliest Mesolithic settlement in eastern middle Sweden. Preliminary results from the excavations of four sites are discussed within the framework of the concepts ”paleoenvironment", "natural landscape" and "cultural landscape". The benefit from considering the natural landscape as a result of cultural classification within unique cultural contexts is discussed, and some strategies for future research are introduced.
