Every December, a poster exhibition reflecting the current year’s archaeological discoveries under the general title “Archaeological Fieldwork in Estonia” is prepared. It is a traditional undertaking that brings the most remarkable archaeological finds and news of the past fieldwork year to the attention of the general public.
