Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In 2024, rescue archaeological fieldwork was carried out at a Stone Age settlement site in Naakamäe, Saaremaa. Thirteen test pits, covering a total area of approximately 19 m2 were dug. During the fieldwork, 1,234 artefacts and 2,416 bone finds were collected and samples were taken. New research has revealed that the Naakamäe settlement site was inhabited in four separate episodes, with the oldest settlement period dating back to the second half of the 4th millennium BC (settlement phase 1) and the youngest to the first half of the 2nd millennium BC (settlement phase 4).
