Excavating Porvoo, Vävarsbacka II, many finds already on day one!

This was the first day of the much anticipated dig of the neolithic dwelling site Vävarsbacka II in Porvoo. Excellent weather (again) and the excavation got off to a really good start!

Lot´s of pottery and this was only day one!

Because of the good weather and the very good excavation team we managed to excavate the uppermost two levels in one day. The cultural layer was intensely greyish brown in colour.
