2015 archaeological excavation of the Telegrafberget site in Kemiö confirmed

I´m happy to announce that the trial excavation and documentation of the "Telegrafberget" site on the island of Kemiö (SW Finland) will take place from June 12th to June 14th (Friday-Sunday) 2015.



The remains of the possible living quarters of the men manning the telegraph station.

Anyone with an interest in participating in the excavation  should contact Kimito Vuxeninstitut at


This is a very interesting site indeed with both prehistoric remains and the remains of an optical telegraph station dating to the Krimean war. I will also be able to employ a student of archaeology for the documentation work. If you are interested please contact me at jfarchaeology@gmail.com. Accomondation will be in the Kemiö archipelago in my summerhome.
