"Bless you all" with Lars Larssons blessing the survey team left the main site. Todays team consisted of Pernille Foss and her Danish students. The morning gave us the usual finds such as blades, micro blades and blade cores. The most exciting thing that happened was that I split my lucky pair of fjällräven pants when I bent down to lift up an anchor stone.

I know this will sound a bit hippy, new ageish but it´s the way it is, so I will write it anyway. I was raised in an animist tradition by my father, I believe in spirits and I believe my ancestor spirits walk side by side with me. My father was the person communicating with the spirits, in his home village. Some call it shaman or medicin man, but that´s a taxonomic disscussion I leave to the scholars. I love being in the bog, looking for traces of the people that lived there. I guess being an archaeologist is my way of communicating with the spirits. Ask anyone that has found a find that they think is cool, in the bog. And they will tell you that if you truly give your love and respect to the bog, the bog will provide. Today I gave the bog lots of love. And by splitting my lucky pants I "sacrificed" them to the bog, and the bog provided. The bog gave me a wonderfull flint edged bonepoint, and some of the microblades where still attached.

| If you see a group of excited grown up people come running, to look at something in the mudd and taking lots of photos. They must be archaeologists. The whole excavating crew came stampeeding to see the flint edged bonepoint. |

| Ten person looking at a hole in the ground. There must be something exiting down there. |

| One of the Danish girls with a barbed leister point. |

| She also found an antler base, with a drilled hole. |
I think it´s safe to say that after theese few days, that we have been here, the bog has gotten some new believers.
