A huge thanks to our fantastic 2022 excavation team in Jäkärlä

This years excavation in Jäkärlä ends tomorrow and me and archaeologist Janne Soisalo would like to taket the opportunity to thank each and every member of our excavation team. A nice mix of people of very different ages, language groups and backgrounds.  The laughter and the joy of discovery could be felt (and heard) every single day.

The finds were beautiful too and many of us already started thinking about next years excavation. In 2023 we will excavate a part of the dwelling site which appears to be very rich in finds. See you all again then 💛
