Map of possible early medieval churches (i.e. from Scandinavian viking age) in Denmark and southern Sweden. Calculations are based om parish churches outside cities, known from late medieval written sources (after 1200). Darkest color represents churches closer than 2,5 km from each other. Middle-color represents 2,5-5 km distance, and brightest color represents churches with 5-7,5 km distance from each other. (Archeological findings of christian burial from latest the year 1000 in Torsåker parish in Ångermanland county, and several stone-churches and parishes from 12th and 13th century, shows that early medieval churches also may have occured in central northern Sweden.)
