Estimates: the Viking-age farms, longships and the Haraldshaugen mound at the start are an illustrative reconstruction, not a survey. The Battle of Hafrsfjord is traditionally dated 872; most scholars now say the 880s or later. Whether Harald Fairhair is buried at Haraldshaugen is not proven. Olavskirken is dated about 1250 to 1320. The herring period (about 1808 to 1870), the move to offshore work (about 1970), and the dates of boats and cars are estimates, labelled on screen. No open data gives a construction year for each building, so most buildings appear in an estimated year, spread to follow the population curve; only the landmarks named in the film have sourced years. Most building heights are defaults, not measurements. The town's 1940 to 1945 chapter shows the national dates only. Population before 1960 is an SSB estimate for today's borders; from 1960 it is SSB's count on 1 January.
