The Finnish Cultural Foundation "Mullankaivajat" grant to Sagalunds Museum
Today was a very good day. Next year we will be able to take the Ölmosviken dig to a whole new level together with Sagalunds Museum thanks to a substantial grant from The Finnish Cultural Foundation!
Next years dig will involve local schools and schoolchildren of different ages from the island of Kemiönsaari (SW Finland). The students will participate hands on in the excavation of a late stone age/early bronze age dwelling site but there will be much, much more to the exciting overall experience than this.
