Nicolay, Johan Achlum-village. [Data Collection]

Description of the project in English

It concerns a steep edge and terp sole examination. A profile is made of the steep side. In addition, two work pits are being constructed in the terpsole, down to the natural subsoil. A work pit is also being constructed for the steep side. This work pit is extended in a southerly direction to the adjacent plot, so that an old stream channel can be investigated.
