Agriculture and archeology

If during ordinary agricultural work you come across relics of the past such as potsherds, flint stains or large collections of stones, you must stop the work and contact the museum's archaeologists on tel. The Palaces and Culture Agency. You also have the option of getting crop compensation.

This is how you move forward

Do you need to change the soil treatment method by e.g. to plow in depth, you should contact the museum well in advance and ask for an opinion and possibly. archaeological feasibility study. Both will be at no cost to you, and can give you valuable knowledge about where there are ancient monuments that must not be plowed in depth.

However, if the deep plowing is to take place prior to the establishment of planting of Christmas trees or windbreaks, it is the landowner who must pay for the archaeological preliminary investigation and any investigation. See more on the page "Afforestation and windbreaks".
