After rain comes sunshine

Today I had yet another day of surveying. Which means I´ve been walking 8 hours a day, for five days this week. It´s a bit dodgy to walk in peat because of it´s elasticity. But all the cool artefacts that we´ve found, makes every step worth it.

Sergii joined me for the whole day, and Marius and his son Mikas joined us for the morning. We had a good start, after about 20 minutes of walking Sergii found a barbed leister point made out of bone. And 30 minutes later I also found one, but of another type.

My precioussss. If Erik had´nt gone to Stockholm this day, he would propably had found this.

I don´t have a clue to what´s going on in the main site, cause the only time I´m there is lunch time. But they seem to make a lot of progress every time I go there. I know that Aija found 3 or 4 wooden stakes today. Which is pretty cool, considering they are about 6000 years old.

At the main site the total station is in constant work.

Urax, the site dog doing his thing.

After lunch Alexei joined me and Sergii, we surveyed the most southern parts of the bog. During lunch Lars Larsson called and warned us about heavy rain and thunder closing in from Lund. The bad weather hit us while we where in the middle of the bog. We took shelter in a ditch.

Sergii did´nt have a raincoat. But luckily Sergii is so tough that when it rains Sergii does not get wet, the rain gets Sergii.
