Type: article
Abstract: The burial site located in the area of J. Kunderi and F. R. Kreutzwaldi streets in Tallinn has undergone a series of earthworks over the years, shedding light on this hitherto relatively unknown cemetery. Despite numerous previous excavations, two archaeological rescue excavations in 2024 succeeded in cleaning up early modern in situ burials and collecting human bones and finds from previously disturbed graves. Numerous Modern Period finds and animal bones were also found, as well as a partially preserved dog skeleton. A total of 16 intact or partially preserved burials were cleaned, including one double and one triple burial.
