excursion around the city of sundsvall, part 1

B-course in Archaeology. We got to see lots of different ancient monuments. it was very exciting to get out and search the landscape to spot them. I can't remember the names of the places.

partly dried lake with house foundations and hearths:

hearth? we saw lots of these hearth formations. an asbestos pot sherd was found, which is to be expected in this northern part of sweden.
