Post-Excavation work

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a scientific basis for discussion. We have hitherto created three sub-chapters, all with the purpose of discussing with us. We have chosen three subjects that we find very interesting for further discussion with the scientific community. This is based on their wide and common appearance in allmost all excavations.
