SUOMEKSI, KIITOS


Fieldwork photos taken in Finland, Greece and Sicily;

Conference in Israel

I've been involved in archaeology since 1998, first in Finland and from 1999 onwards also in Greece:
1999-2001 in the Norwegian Arcadia Survey in Tegea, Arcadia
2004-2010 in The Thesprotia Expedition, Finnish project in Epirus
2006- in Arachamitai Agia Paraskevi, Finnish excavation in Asea, Arcadia
2014-2016 in Naxos, Sicily.
Also included are some photos from February 2017 siege warfare conference in Haifa, Israel.

Here are some of the work photos taken over the years. There would have been lots more, but unfortunately
the photos from the late 1990's and early 2000's are useless, as the scan quality of the day was incredibly poor.
