Time sure flies when you have fun. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTauqh5Mwe4p1KM61S4kcmT8KzpTDd7Y2DqfGflnktvqB4pX12tAVOFeNZnZcf6MOEC6AMfTsunRo36JOTf53Q0zDu5F7pETZ6VFxN_gnShOg7fviidCCVhxkVLb-NCdXGBMsZccobmNewqYiH3ZotkcbKZ7ndBFMV6ZMSHpAlenYVc-4bjylnNr38hQY/s1781/346100337_3363937847153501_4628510020988975511_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKn8PC3f6WleLAueCdrwH4111d_1W9RMg5XBYB_kTa39UeJEOzl6VZ-LuPvXH7T_F7mfpcrXuhmcoty_KYkUCyu2ypDO4Kx_t2JQpzHkmV5Zy48qoZqYLLOMHBpz2dJds8j278KM3c8nDzKRwghR-YYAl2dSECidNIHuHD-qA6lVfr0bNQpl6aUzn7kfI/s1436/346108865_572244568355665_179316405499415729_n%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1103" data-original-width="1436" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKn8PC3f6WleLAueCdrwH4111d_1W9RMg5XBYB_kTa39UeJEOzl6VZ-LuPvXH7T_F7mfpcrXuhmcoty_KYkUCyu2ypDO4Kx_t2JQpzHkmV5Zy48qoZqYLLOMHBpz2dJds8j278KM3c8nDzKRwghR-YYAl2dSECidNIHuHD-qA6lVfr0bNQpl6aUzn7kfI/w211-h163/346108865_572244568355665_179316405499415729_n%20(2).jpg" width="211" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0we0zr0OU2js1e59zCarvTKgyxCGRCt7we1YQP298ghl9WdCiAgBXPvHuSFeycTJ07J95Scao3d0Kfcr0fNHgj5F0g63I_Z-kMrJs4mOwquF9j_556QfNnIgPsUPoG-JnCiopAML7Bb3svgtSmVKPcct3t7SZwrftQ-l6ekywxouePXfZrJohbtr4jg/s543/IMG_3744%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="543" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0we0zr0OU2js1e59zCarvTKgyxCGRCt7we1YQP298ghl9WdCiAgBXPvHuSFeycTJ07J95Scao3d0Kfcr0fNHgj5F0g63I_Z-kMrJs4mOwquF9j_556QfNnIgPsUPoG-JnCiopAML7Bb3svgtSmVKPcct3t7SZwrftQ-l6ekywxouePXfZrJohbtr4jg/w251-h163/IMG_3744%20(2).JPG" width="251" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #0000ee; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigz1Cs80CvrfC9_DU9Mbkm5o6scb8Z92k2dK31KkDDIL7y99dGHUnndZKdIiKiCs8v4NbGroTGRwO6b6ZRdKrVstcsBADG_gj1konXPSbNrVoBtl7jTKjYvSyI8j6VZP69Fg-BFjj4NLjcik7l4_ywg-Nja0kxzLoUewy3g-eeNTSV72pboqidVkgP6iQ/s2054/IMG_3748%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1783" data-original-width="2054" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigz1Cs80CvrfC9_DU9Mbkm5o6scb8Z92k2dK31KkDDIL7y99dGHUnndZKdIiKiCs8v4NbGroTGRwO6b6ZRdKrVstcsBADG_gj1konXPSbNrVoBtl7jTKjYvSyI8j6VZP69Fg-BFjj4NLjcik7l4_ywg-Nja0kxzLoUewy3g-eeNTSV72pboqidVkgP6iQ/w255-h227/IMG_3748%20(2).JPG" width="255" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9Mk7UTq83pez7WWBQul76Xfuat44CcpGl_vxETpdsKi0xQjyfy_DYtaXXFqstDekShO4Rr3K6_iC4s7nOY1O0q81_5Q6NjBOqU_bkU_bsviagAbwtoA_Q40O0xZPvriNj61qIS1B-Sz4zxnPsraKq4WdVFsGLJPGMDHutPmyDCx34_UysM_sQiu-CU0/s1787/349119755_765176941780434_3642259695599936285_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1787" data-original-width="1443" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9Mk7UTq83pez7WWBQul76Xfuat44CcpGl_vxETpdsKi0xQjyfy_DYtaXXFqstDekShO4Rr3K6_iC4s7nOY1O0q81_5Q6NjBOqU_bkU_bsviagAbwtoA_Q40O0xZPvriNj61qIS1B-Sz4zxnPsraKq4WdVFsGLJPGMDHutPmyDCx34_UysM_sQiu-CU0/w191-h222/349119755_765176941780434_3642259695599936285_n.jpg" width="191" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #0000ee; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The second leg of the excavation was reserved for adut students at the Alma opisto and arranged as a community archaeology field school.

A fantastic week exploring the stone-age dwelling site Vävarsbacka II in Porvoo.<p style="text-align: justify;">Between the 15th - 19th of May 2023 we continued our community archaeology excavations of this fantastic <i>Neolithic Stone-Age</i> site in Porvoo. Time sure flies, this was already our 6th excavation here since the start in 2018. The excavatons have been funded by Borgå Medborgarinstitut since the beginning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbnQ5_k9RoNb8u29eE9BKaw1kS6XDk3fshNnw_YxHvouu_xgN4Xv-HHQFwPJewRho5EnC6PJOZaTv_CvYO7retYHJi6CoXVHnyTzjLIGl1jRl-1kh24chODUJGqWDIqnN5OS8dS1ug7j4O8I08M_PJ6P2C2kRDOinngDJh64GnhcM_LTqFWOD-hjNR/s1078/344592906_253418670533640_4850038240368780953_n%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1078" data-original-width="803" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbnQ5_k9RoNb8u29eE9BKaw1kS6XDk3fshNnw_YxHvouu_xgN4Xv-HHQFwPJewRho5EnC6PJOZaTv_CvYO7retYHJi6CoXVHnyTzjLIGl1jRl-1kh24chODUJGqWDIqnN5OS8dS1ug7j4O8I08M_PJ6P2C2kRDOinngDJh64GnhcM_LTqFWOD-hjNR/s320/344592906_253418670533640_4850038240368780953_n%20(2).jpg" width="238" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Vävarsbacka II was first inhabited around 3900 BC and according to our research the last period of habitation occured around 2300 BC but this is of course only a rough estimate.

The work included pedgogic community archaeology excavations of the frontlines on the mainland with schoolchildren from schools in Raseborg, Hanko and Lohja as well as repatriation of fallen soldiers in the northern archipelago off Cape Hanko. The work was funded by <i>Thure Galléns stiftelse</i> and a local benificiary.</p><p>Our first mission was to resarch the remains of one of the larger shelters called "Royal" that was built by Swedish volunteers from Svenska Frivilligbataljonen during the late summeer and autumn of 1941.

War of 1941-1944 the Soviet Union imposed, that the areas west of Helsinki, around Kirkkonummi, Porkkalanniemi, Upinniemi and
the fortress island of Mäkiluoto, were to be emptied of all population and
leased to the USSR for 50 years, for the purpose of establishing a Soviet naval
base. Finland had no choice but to agree, despite the obvious threat to
Helsinki. The base became known as Porkkala Udd in the USSR.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Between 2022 and 2026 the remains of the Cold War structures of the former Soviet Naval Base are excavated, documented and mapped by the "Porkkala 1944-1956" modern conflict archaeology project. This weekend the work was concentrated to a tank crew training area in Kirkkonummi.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAyEcxnwxDBoPvzLLseXNxcVC6qhX-ViKXFz37re3xL6IoOMQ9-0c4YXin5YWWdduGZxEsseUQT3Y1952XKFX_uSBL3829NJJGZ90CZPUAxWo-rUgt-w0xRqZjs7QaO8ZYXAd7Z7qGjzF2ACJJnOpgE8nXPsdVqFsKZmcGqxbnhdf8XNgmFcz2_8bw/s2048/345233442_1163913620949458_2153922757901214087_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Not so many WW2 finds but as I told the students "the structure itself is the find".</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP4k4BRnUGtX-v21wJhcoUMthLYXrQNNOEfAN7RuyVnPt-aPLWeS7KhQ5nXqrSCBwhJmbuhtJW62bhSmpPhqItSgHwy9msoHVLxc0xiNrmKhDXNoA3XWYy_8i5MBAiZZQimtVOD1EGDjuPk2XT77cxm0X1rxZFDbjX-ipeylGC6eIg6aTgu0UseM2m/s2028/306041476_665033111197549_6592171252234755_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2028" data-original-width="1521" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP4k4BRnUGtX-v21wJhcoUMthLYXrQNNOEfAN7RuyVnPt-aPLWeS7KhQ5nXqrSCBwhJmbuhtJW62bhSmpPhqItSgHwy9msoHVLxc0xiNrmKhDXNoA3XWYy_8i5MBAiZZQimtVOD1EGDjuPk2XT77cxm0X1rxZFDbjX-ipeylGC6eIg6aTgu0UseM2m/w230-h307/306041476_665033111197549_6592171252234755_n.jpg" width="230" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv0E6csc1WbrAjKB0Wkjzx5KQrattlCOAGU1k9u2lZb9eYPsFIpImtIFV7oIoYIyIOMOBHJJjHRIWS4Cx6QKmiW428NMt1g6C1rUVEwsa6Cb1I71qWuL5L4MfPzBK2MlxTFgRkOStiojuQd3jYeOiMINCBXqBc2YgqP0j_KS0Pb8wADdaBTMdCDBW5/s1898/305394647_1160880681507111_7470401477305814663_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1898" data-original-width="1305" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv0E6csc1WbrAjKB0Wkjzx5KQrattlCOAGU1k9u2lZb9eYPsFIpImtIFV7oIoYIyIOMOBHJJjHRIWS4Cx6QKmiW428NMt1g6C1rUVEwsa6Cb1I71qWuL5L4MfPzBK2MlxTFgRkOStiojuQd3jYeOiMINCBXqBc2YgqP0j_KS0Pb8wADdaBTMdCDBW5/w213-h310/305394647_1160880681507111_7470401477305814663_n.jpg" width="213" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">The excavation progressed with great speed today thanks to the work done by the students.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Next year we will continue to offer schoolchildren the opportunity to participate in the excavations of Kabanovs underground command post with funding from <b>Thure Galléns stiftelse.</b> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJey_WVC56hQqQkARM3dJIRvK9JXLrEx3vhxpKA_fAMWkKgmUj3DZE7S7JkWnHwWZJZ4Ns71cBt6ZMwK1fHFqPusWujHRw93vLW0Febogud6qQ83oRqHNMcDkucBxehZ41pB_VECXw4NQ18L3XnB9qaf2AUJdZL0FFiNmR3vrcdG9Kf32kUylaTPSD/s1577/305624385_3370901439797486_6415095496143152393_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1143" data-original-width="1577" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJey_WVC56hQqQkARM3dJIRvK9JXLrEx3vhxpKA_fAMWkKgmUj3DZE7S7JkWnHwWZJZ4Ns71cBt6ZMwK1fHFqPusWujHRw93vLW0Febogud6qQ83oRqHNMcDkucBxehZ41pB_VECXw4NQ18L3XnB9qaf2AUJdZL0FFiNmR3vrcdG9Kf32kUylaTPSD/w465-h338/305624385_3370901439797486_6415095496143152393_n.jpg" width="465" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Hanko Casino photographed from the south.

Day 2/10.<p style="text-align: justify;">The second day of the excavation was spent shoveling off the gravel layer that cover the massive (but fragile remains of the command post. The reason for the fragility is that by the summer of 1941 the Soviet troops in Hanko had ran out of good quality concrete for the construction of the underground structure. Using the digger to uncover the soil layers closer to the brick and wood structures would have been to risky so we are forced to use lighter tools for the work... but we are slowly getting there :) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lX7vDldt9_PJJiisEeeG8CY0nhVdjJH_afS5g1obbGeuTbJDSVSW4cQ5HyFln3bixL5HK_TQF1qFd8ey99XDWVrW1xf7lU2jvk4OBoPJEH1kJAWah3ctKQfPSQiS16P1z-gejco67xpNYlnHkLzlX2w7fYOZwIsYhMeFO0Pm5XyzGWIJ0n0NCsuU/s1608/305182911_342300971377234_7584464374092775941_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1608" data-original-width="1281" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5lX7vDldt9_PJJiisEeeG8CY0nhVdjJH_afS5g1obbGeuTbJDSVSW4cQ5HyFln3bixL5HK_TQF1qFd8ey99XDWVrW1xf7lU2jvk4OBoPJEH1kJAWah3ctKQfPSQiS16P1z-gejco67xpNYlnHkLzlX2w7fYOZwIsYhMeFO0Pm5XyzGWIJ0n0NCsuU/w231-h290/305182911_342300971377234_7584464374092775941_n.jpg" width="231" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTBgfZKQwZ8nb0AwF3r9Xqk02JDE0i0J-u7z6SczfVrFL1taoW5eTDtGLctnoCiCetu639_plFPc--V-4mqX4086kibOmoJn__mlZY7q4Gul4bhdkKpinA3ksYiC4weF5qDDCxVMCWypAW6xvVEfPO8kX2MoN3ti9IANTkIBEvkTqLcnWAMmIyx_iM/s1782/304962177_796050444915669_5880491540016792556_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1782" data-original-width="1470" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTBgfZKQwZ8nb0AwF3r9Xqk02JDE0i0J-u7z6SczfVrFL1taoW5eTDtGLctnoCiCetu639_plFPc--V-4mqX4086kibOmoJn__mlZY7q4Gul4bhdkKpinA3ksYiC4weF5qDDCxVMCWypAW6xvVEfPO8kX2MoN3ti9IANTkIBEvkTqLcnWAMmIyx_iM/w240-h292/304962177_796050444915669_5880491540016792556_n.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><span style="color: #ffa400;">Two days well spent shoveling.

Finland. Day 1/6. <p style="text-align: justify;">Korsholm Castle was probably built in the 1370´s and very little is
known about how it was construvted and/or extended ofer the years. By the late
18th century the castle lay in ruins, and new buildings were built on the
mound. Korsholm Castle is known to have functioned as one of the bases of the
notorious Victual Brothers pirates who terrorized the Baltic Sea region in the
Middle Ages. By the late 18th century the castle lay in ruins, and new buildings were built on the mound. During the upcoming five days we will conduct the first ever archaeological excavation of this historic site with schoolchildren from local schools.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoxkfWLrnB-dQnPS05bMO_QTVPaNfT6B6J8XAZsgb6CT4kaRyPDIP3CZpIa76xCkaJdKQ2ACK6p5rh215aHq3RIiIkVXVvH4420n6-NZu4_MczEu_gMZLId2iQdkEEPW1e0JyINrD0vQcmw1Mmpcj8bR_fZIKEONhFeobu-UL5Rw012NSy92pIJ85/s1517/301855551_599167591867022_3126256048582020218_n%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1159" data-original-width="1517" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSoxkfWLrnB-dQnPS05bMO_QTVPaNfT6B6J8XAZsgb6CT4kaRyPDIP3CZpIa76xCkaJdKQ2ACK6p5rh215aHq3RIiIkVXVvH4420n6-NZu4_MczEu_gMZLId2iQdkEEPW1e0JyINrD0vQcmw1Mmpcj8bR_fZIKEONhFeobu-UL5Rw012NSy92pIJ85/w347-h264/301855551_599167591867022_3126256048582020218_n%20(2).jpg" width="347" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">School children from Haga skola look for finds using a pinpointer.</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The first day of the excavation started early in the morning when the topsoil was skillfully removed using a digger to a depth of around one meter below ground surface, From here on the excavation continued manually. Many finds especially from the 19th and 18th centuries were found in the uppermost part of the find layer. The undisturbed soil underneath this seeems to hold artefacts from the 17 th century and maybe as far back as Medieval times.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
