Archaeological Fieldwork in 2024

The paper introduces the results of the archaeological fieldwork in Estonia in 2024. Altogether 250 cases of fieldwork were organised, of which most were watching briefs, followed by the preliminary investigations and small-scale research activities. Research-related studies usually concentrated on the Late Iron Age and medieval monuments, with a lot of attention given to the hill forts. The rescue and salvage work in rural areas produced revealed information on the extent of settlement sites, and a few burial sites and fossil fields, in one case, these date from the Bronze Age. Of the medieval castles, investigations in Angerja and Kolga yielded interesting finds. In urban centres, several noteworthy studies took place in Narva and Tallinn.

Abstract

The paper introduces the results of the archaeological fieldwork in Estonia in 2024. Altogether 250 cases of fieldwork were organised, of which most were watching briefs, followed by the preliminary investigations and small-scale research activities. Research-related studies usually concentrated on the Late Iron Age and medieval monuments, with a lot of attention given to the hill forts. The rescue and salvage work in rural areas produced revealed information on the extent of settlement sites, and a few burial sites and fossil fields, in one case, these date from the Bronze Age. Of the medieval castles, investigations in Angerja and Kolga yielded interesting finds. In urban centres, several noteworthy studies took place in Narva and Tallinn.
