After a couple of weeks of summer vacation the awsome 2022 field season continues. Today we started the ten day long excavation of the Pitted Ware culture dwelling site in Get on the Åland Islands. After a very promising trial excavation last summer it´s now time for the first larger scale excavation of this remarkable neolithic dwelling site.

The finds started mounting up immediately when we removed the 5 cm layer thick topsoil. Large potsherds and thousands of porfyrite flakes litter the entire excavation area. We are taking great care in the documentation and excavation of the site.
