Conflict archaeology on the Nordfront
On March 25th Iron Cross Magazine published my long due feature article about ongoing WW2 conflict archeology research in Finland!
Writing the article was very motivativating and rewarding as this was the first time I was able to share the research of the German WW2 transition camp in Hanko S. Finland to an international audience. I was also able to share a few of the hundreds of original pictures from my research collection to the readers.
Archaeologist Teemu Väisänen added a chapter on the upcoming research of the German WW2 airfield in Pori while Aleksi Rikkinen and Emil Sillanpää contributed with material related to the mapping of the German "Sturmbock Stellung" in NW Lapland.
The research will continue when the situation with the Corona virus is under control here in Finland. If you wish to excavate the second world war with us please send a letter of interest to jfarchaeology@gmail.com

Writing an article about the Långåmossarna excavations
Good thing about the situation (at least here in Finland) right now is that there is plenty of time to write articles about previous excavations and plan upcoming (2020) digs in detail.
I´m currently working on an article about the excavations of the multiperod stone age dwelling site of Långåmossarna (Raseborg). The excavations of the site have been going on for a long time (almost my complete career as an archaeologist) with the first ones in 1992-1994 and then a series of excavations 2013 and 2015-2018. It feels good to finally get the results down on paper.
The site has yielded very nice finds from the mesolithic (ca 9000 BP), early comb ceramic culture (ca 6200 BP), corded ware culture (ca 4500 BP) and last but not least Kiukais culture (ca 4000 BP). The article which is in Swedish will be published later this spring.
